    Product information:
    Brothers Tiziano, Armando, Paolo and Massimo Castagnedi own Tenuta Sant'Antonio, a winery located in the eastern part of the Valpolicella zone in Italy. The original estate, a 49 acre parcel inherited from their father, almost doubled in size when the brothers acquired 74 acres in 1989.

    The estate vineyards are planted along the hillsides in Mezzane, Lavagno, and San Martino Buon Albergo at an average altitude of 1,148 feet. Their meticulous attention to viticulture and combined with hand harvesting ensures high-quality fruit, ergo minimal intervention in the cellar.Brothers Tiziano, Armando, Paolo and Massimo Castagnedi own Tenuta Sant'Antonio, a winery located in the eastern part of the Valpolicella zone in Italy.

    The estate’s flagship wine, this is culled from vines up to 40 years of age. Winemaker Paolo Castagnedi dried the grapes for three months, then fermented them in 500-liter open-top barrels before aging the wine for three years in new French oak tonneaux. The result is dense in rich black fruit flavors, the wine slowly unwinding to reveal suggestions of licorice, tapenade, anise and cardamom. It brightens on the finish, with notes of menthol and salinity, and the wine continues to evolve over several days, suggesting it should be decanted an hour or two before serving to get the full spectrum of flavors. Or, better yet, cellar it. - Wine & Spirits Magazine 94 Points
