“Intense dried cranberry and steely blackcurrant on the nose. Balsamic, dried-herb and licoricy oak, too. Full and very concentrated on the palate with a focused, flavorful drive of spicy fruit and well-integrated tannins that pushes on and on. Tempting now, but best from 2023.” – 93 points, James Suckling

Armando, Tiziano, Paolo and Massimo Castagnedi: four brothers and a single passion that originated among their father’s vineyards at San Zeno di Colognola ai Colli, in Valpolicella where the most famous Veronese wines are made: Amarone, Valpolicella, Soave.
In 1989 they took the bold and far-sighted decision to buy a property in the Monti Garbi, laying the foundation for what has now become an agricultural estate known throughout the world, the producer of excellent wines, with more than one hundred farmed hectares and a state-of-the-art ageing facility.
Tenuta Sant’Antonio lies along the hills of the Illasi and Mezzane valleys where a mild climate and influences from Lake Garda are prevalent. Cultivated throughout their estate are Corvinone, Corvina, Rondinella, Garganega, Trebbiano di Soave and Chardonnay. Quality is their mission and natural production of wines is paramount.
