AboutItalo Cescon
Italo Cescon began in 1957 with a small family wine shop in San Polo di Piave and an early decision to bottle its wines. Siblings Gloria, Graziella and Domenico Cescon run the winery with their mother Chiara. The vine cutting tied to bottles by hand continues a tradition begun by Italo.
The range is grounded in the Piave landscape, where local grapes such as Raboso and Manzoni Bianco sit alongside varieties long established in the wider Veneto. Organic farming forms part of the family’s vineyard work.
Italo Cescon 2021 Cabernet
Italian Red
Intense ruby-red colour has violet reflections. The bouquet includes woodland, fruit, spice and herbal notes. Concentration accompanies dry tannins, fruit, oak and lively freshness. The blend contains seventy percent Cabernet Sauvignon and thirty percent Cabernet Franc from Fagarè, Vallonto and Fontanelle, where the soils are alluvial clay. Grapes are hand-harvested in late September, and the wine matures twelve months in oak followed by twelve months in bottle.

Italian Dessert
Dates, chestnut and dried apricot lead a concentrated aroma, joined by candied orange and chestnut honey. The palate is enveloping and persistent, with generous sweetness, warm spice and fine tannins bringing shape to the finish. Rich but composed, it pairs naturally with aged cheese, almond pastries or savoury biscuits.
