The Sangiovese is particularly selected from a portion of the estate’s vines where the clusters are thinner and have much smaller berries, and lead to a bit more extraction of color and intensity of flavor for the final wine. The grapes are handpicked and brought to the cellar for a natural fermentation in stainless steel, where follatura (punch-downs) occurs regularly. After primary fermentation completes, the wine is transferred to mostly all used 500L French Tonneau for 12-months where it ages before an unfiltered bottling. Another 12 months rest in bottle before release gives the final wine extra time to integrate and come together for a gorgeously structured red.

Here, Valentino Berni, who has had 2 other generations to learn from, collects these earthly gems, yet also has an exceptional passion and knack for making beautiful wines and olive oil from their 12 hectares of vineyards and 4 hectares of olive trees. 2 of those hectares of Sangiovese grow in Montalcino only 20km south of the farm, allowing Valentino to make the 2 famous wines of Montalcino (Brunello \u0026amp; Rosso). As to preserve the land for the health of all ‘crops’ that he harvests, Valentino’s farming practices on his sandy clay soils are strictly pristine and completely natural. The methods in the cellar follow this minimal approach from the fields, as Valentino allows natural fermentations for his reds, ages in used barrique and large Slavonic oak as to not impart too much foreign flavor to the wines, and keeps sulfite use to an absolute minimum in order to showcase the grapes.

All ferments are done with native yeasts, for both primary and secondary fermentations (no inoculation), and the musts tend to be low pH\/high acid, allowing for no added SO2 at the press, and minimal at bottling (12-15 PPM free SO2 for the early drinking cuvees, 20-25 PPM free SO2 for bigger reds).  They work with a handful of growers, all of whom farm organically (none certified); it is their ability to seek out spectacular vineyard sites which allows them to be hands off in the winemaking process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eScott’s passion for wine was ignited when he moved to Napa from Chicago in 2007.  Scott began his transition into the winemaking world after a move to Napa for employment as Wine Director at Thomas Keller’s Bouchon in Napa Valley.

That was followed by working with Arnot-Roberts, and then joining Pax Mahle in the same capacity working on the Pax and Wind Gap labels.

The vines catch the full arc of the sun’s journey across the mountain and are protected from cold northern winds. The grapes grown here produce powerful, elemental wines with a vibrancy that reflects the timeless landscape where it was born. To the north, vines enjoy cool breezes in water-kissed medium-textured, clay-infused soils. This microclimate is particularly important to Martoccia during hotter years, where these grapes provide freshness that tempers ripeness with grace. Meanwhile, atop Cinigiano’s sunny, wind-swept hill, Sangiovese, Merlot, and Colorino grapes bask under a dance of light and air, producing wines with a soul-stirring warmth. With only 5,000 carefully selected Sangiovese buds per hectare, each vine produces fruit grown to express purity, precision, and restraint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p4\"\u003eABOUT THE WINE\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p5\"\u003eThe 2019 Brunello di Montalcino is an exercise in discernment, patience, and intention. Winemaker Luca Brunelli chose only the most densely concentrated grapes from low-yield vines to make the Brunello. On the nose, aromas spill from the glass. First, you will notice red cherry and a touch of coriander, followed by intriguing notes of eucalyptus. On the palate, the wine unfolds, dark and brooding, hitting you with earthy layers of forest floor, mushrooms, and tree bark woven with a textured acidity and chewy tannins. It is aged for over 30 months in large Slavonian and French oak barrels, followed by a year in bottle. This is a contemplative and indulgent wine that Brunelli built to last. But don’t let that stop you from enjoying its layers and complexity now.

Inspired by the rare southern rhone Syrah, and a clear departure from our cool climate Syrahs, this wine shows those roasted flavors that you can only get from Syrah grown in sand in a warm spot. The low fertility sandy soils are derived from Granite and Tufa and form undulating “Hills” from the steady breezes from the west. These fine-grained soils grow fine grained wines.

Crafted from 100% Syrah, this wine offers a harmonious blend of fruit intensity and savory complexity. In the glass, it presents a deep, dark red hue with subtle purplish tinges, indicating its rich concentration. The bouquet is both robust and inviting, featuring aromas of ripe plums, tar, and violets. Hints of baked pomegranate and cherry skin add depth, while a touch of peppery spice introduces a layer of intrigue. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied with a firm structure. The initial burst of dark red and purplish fruits is complemented by mocha, lavender, and a medley of spices. The tannins are ripe and well-integrated, providing a smooth mouthfeel.

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. In 1971, Tiziano De Stefani (Alessandro’s father), moved his family to the Fossalta di Piave where they could grow many different grapes on the clay soils of the old river plain, while retaining their esteemed Glera vineyards for Prosecco production. 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. The Redentore label comes from the younger vines of the estate that will someday be destined to carry the De Stefani flagship label. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.bonvivantimports.com\/uploads\/7\/2\/2\/1\/72211495\/redentore_cab_sauv_24_ts.pdf\" title=\"Redentore Cabernet Sauvignon, Della Venezie 2024\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eTech Sheet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"De Stefani Redentore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53499630846225,"sku":"HG2495","price":16.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/8755\/8673\/files\/AlchemyShopifyWinePics-10.png?v=1694463093"}],"url":"https:\/\/alchemyofthespirit.co\/collections\/full-bodied.oembed?page=2","provider":"Alchemy of the Spirit","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
