Redentore Red Zero
From Veneto, Italy, Redentore Red Zero is a dry, dealcoholized red made from Merlot and Refosco. Bright red fruit leads the way, joined by gentle spice and a savory edge, with a soft palate, fresh acidity and an easy, balanced finish. Approachable and decidedly food-friendly, it's the kind of Italian red that slips very comfortably onto the dinner table.
Why We Love It
Sometimes you don't need your red wine to make a grand entrance. Redentore is juicy, savory and wonderfully easy to get along with. The Merlot brings softness, Refosco gives it a little Italian backbone, and the whole thing feels perfectly at home with a plate of pasta and absolutely no ceremony.
Put this next to something Italian: Pizza, baked ziti, eggplant Parmesan, mushroom pasta, grilled vegetables, fresh cheeses or a very respectable antipasti spread. Tomato, herbs and salty cheese are particularly good company.
