Redentore Merlot 2021 (750 ml)

The Redentore Merlot 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. This wine’s fruit will someday go into the estate’s Plavis Merlot, as when Tiziano De Stefani found the right area in Veneto to make wines like those in Pomerol France, his goal was to make world-class Merlot.  The grapes go into stainless steel for alcoholic fermentation with natural yeasts, and are then moved to French barrique for a years aging and malolactic fermentation.  A beautiful and clean fruit presence is common in the wines from Redentore, and this wine is such a vibrant and expressive example, with round and soft fruit, spice, a touch of vanilla, and wonderful balanced acidity.
