2020 | Tenuta Sant'Antonio | Monti Garbi Valpolicella Superiore Ripasso

On the nose, notes of red fruit and cherry. On the palate, it is sweet, soft, enveloping, fresh, savory and quite tannic with a spicy aftertaste.

Reviews:

• James Suckling: Aromas of nutty red fruit and vanilla follow through to a medium-bodied palate with some very fine-grained tannins that are sinking below the surface nicely. Bright, almost steely finish. Still needs another year to show its best.

Producer Information

Tenuta Sant'Antonio is a winery located in the Monti Garbi area of Verona, near Lake Garda. The winery is owned by four brothers: Armando, Paolo, Tiziano, and Massimo Castagnedi, and produces Soave, Valpolicella and Amarone wines. The estate is made up of 50 hectares (124 acres) of vineyards – 30 hectares (74 acres) around Mezzane and 20 hectares (50 acres) in San Zeno di Colognola ai Colli in the Valpolicella district. Grape varieties grown in these vineyards include classic regional varieties Corvina, Molinara, Rondinella, Garganega and Trebbiano di Soave, and more international varieties like Chardonnay. Both the red and white wines are aged in contact with their lees, and are mixed in stainless steel wine jars and later via the tradtional bâtonnage method in barrel. They are then filtered just a few days before bottling. Tenuta Sant'Antonio's flagship wine is an Amarone della Valpolicella Riserva named Lilium Est. The wine is made by the appassimento process where after harvest, the grapes are dried for several weeks on bamboo racks or straw mats, to concentrate sugars for increased body and intensity of flavor. Sant'Antonio makes a range of other wines under various other DOC and IGT titles, including the value Scaia range and the sulphite-free Telos range.
