About the product

The Franzese Malbec is hand picked and allowed to begin fermentation naturally due to the warm fall days that activate the yeast. The power and finesse of this wine requires minimal intervention so aging is performed in clay vessels known as Karases and large stainless steel tanks.  This maintains the youthfulness and boldness of the wine while a 20% neutral oak aging smooths the finish.

Malbec originated in the South of France but has flourished in Argentina in the high elevation desert on the eastern side of the Andes Mountains. Our Malbec is sourced from the similarly high elevation desert at the foot of Mt. Ararat, Armenia between 4500 and 6000 feet above sea level.  Grown on black volcanic soils, these grapes receive optimal sun conditions in the day to ripen perfectly, and cool breezy evenings and nights to maintain acidity and freshness.   

There are no sulfites, industrial yeast, or sugars added. Alcohol: 12%

Michael Franzese refused the mob, but this wine, he couldn’t refuse

Michael Franzese wasn’t just part of the Mafia — he was one of the most powerful men in it. A captain in New York’s feared Colombo crime family, Michael brought in millions a week, lived fast, and played a dangerous game few survive. But then… he walked away. Not by cutting a deal. Not by vanishing. He left publicly — for faith, for family, and for good.

His journey from the streets of New York to stages around the world teaching about transformation and second chances has made him one of the most compelling voices of our time. He has dedicated his life to helping others avoid the mistakes of his past. to stand for second chances. And that’s where this wine comes in.

Franzese Wine isn’t just about rare Armenian vineyards or centuries-old tradition. It’s a reflection of Michael’s journey — from darkness to light, from crime to calling. Every bottle tells that story. Every glass is a reminder that transformation is possible.

Whether you know the man or are just discovering the legend, you’re not just drinking wine - you’re tasting a second chance.
