Redentore Pinot Grigio Delle Venezie, 2018
Redentore Pinot Grigio Delle Venezie, 2018
100% Pinot Grigio. The Redentore Pinot Grigio comes from the ‘second label’ of the De Stefani estate. Created in the same natural style as the flagship wines from the property, the Redentore line takes advantage of some of the younger vines (15 years) that will someday produce the exceptional De Stefani wines. Low in added sulfur, farmed organically, and fermented on the native lees.
This Pinot Grigio has much style and grace, with ripe tree fruits, spicy citrus notes, and a long, rich finish. This white is medium-bodied, and an exceptional value.
The family of De Stefani dates back to the later half of the 1800’s, having created wines of the utmost quality since the beginning, and continuing today under the experience of the family’s 4th generation winemaker, Alessandro. The family began in Refrontolo, a small hilly village in between the two famous Prosecco towns of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene, and more recently has accrued two other vineyards to combine for 40 hectares of total estate. With a complete dedication to as natural production as possible, the estate is organically farmed, they only rely on naturally occurring yeasts as well as never adding sulfur during vinification (since 2009), all while focusing on many varietals that they have found to create incredible results in their unique terrain. Thriving from the local clay soils, the wines of De Stefani are stunning, true to type, and richly complex.
