Tenuta Sant’Antonio Amarone

Details

The Valpolicella Amarone “Antonio Castagnedi” is a full-bodied and structured red wine, aged for 24 months in wooden barrels. The olfactory profile is fascinating and complex, featuring notes of tobacco, licorice, coffee, and preserved red fruit. On the palate, it is powerful, warm, and balanced, a synthesis of a soft and enveloping structure and an energetic tannin and vibrant freshness.
