WINE DESCRIPTION
Tenuta Sant'Antonio Antonio Castagnedi Amarone della Valpolicella is a red wine produced by Tenuta Sant'Antonio in the Valpolicella appellation of Italy. The vineyards are located on the hillsides of the region, where the grapes retain acidity allowing for a long ripening period. The winemaking process involves a meticulous selection of the best grapes, which are then dried for several months to concentrate their flavors. The resulting wine is rich and full-bodied, with intense aromas of dark fruit, chocolate, and spices. This Amarone is a perfect example of the traditional winemaking techniques of the region, and it is a must-try for any wine enthusiast looking to explore the classic styles of Italian wine.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Amarone della Valpolicella from Tenuta Sant'Antonio Antonio Castagnedi is a powerful and complex red wine.On the nose, aromas of dried cherries and prunes mingle with hints of leather, tobacco, and coffee. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and rich, with flavors of dark fruits, spice, and earth, plus a hint of prune. The finish is long and lingering with a pleasant tannic edge. A wonderful expression of the Amarone style, this wine will pair well with rich, savory dishes or hard cheeses. Drink now or enjoy over the next decade.
