REDENTORE Cabernet Sauvignon is aromatic with notes of berries, spices and vanilla. Smooth, full bodied, and balanced - it has great appeal for Cab-drinkers and Italian wine fans. Ideal with grilled and stewed meat, pork, lamb and seasoned cheeses. 

The checkered pattern of the label is a reference to the floors of San Marco's Basilica in Venice!

About the winery: The De Stefani family has been producing wines in the Veneto region in Italy for four generations, dating back to the late 1800s. Based in Refrontolo, a small, hilly village between the two famous Prosecco towns of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene, Alessandro De Stefani focusses on small production wines made naturally. There are a wide variety of bottlings available under both the De Stefani line and the second label, Redentore. 

The name Redentore is an homage to the culture of Venice. Redentore, meaning redemption, is meant to evoke the traditional Redentore Festival, held every third weekend in July in Venice. The Festival celebrates the end of the plague that struck Venice between 1575 and 1577. 

Both De Stefani and Redentore wines are made using only organic grapes. No chemical pesticides, herbicides or fertilizers are used. In fact, Alessandro De Stefani goes out of his way to create an environment conducive to the proliferation of good insects, wild animals and microorganisms in the soil. He even prepares his own compost every year.
