The Estate

Tenuta Sant’Antonio is a family estate founded by the Castagnedi brothers in the 1990s, nestled in the hills of Mezzane di Sotto, in the heart of Valpolicella. Passionate and visionary, they have elevated their property to one of the most renowned in Veneto. The estate spans over 50 hectares planted at altitude, on well-drained limestone soils, perfect for producing great red wines. This Selezione Antonio Castagnedi cuvée is a tribute to the family patriarch and embodies the estate's exacting standards: hand-harvesting, rigorous selection, traditional appassimento, and extended aging in oak barrels. A powerful and refined Amarone with a distinctive style.

The wine

Amarone Selezione Antonio Castagnedi 2016 is made from a traditional blend of Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, and Croatina. The grapes are hand-harvested and then naturally dried for approximately three months using the appassimento method. This process concentrates the sugars, aromas, and structure. Vinification takes place in stainless steel tanks, and the wine is then aged for 24 months in French oak barrels. This balanced and sun-drenched 2016 vintage yields a structured, intense, yet remarkably elegant wine. It combines richness, velvety texture, and exceptional length.

Tasting notes

Deep garnet in color. An intense nose of jammy black fruits, fig, cocoa, cinnamon, tobacco, and garrigue. On the palate, Amarone Selezione Antonio Castagnedi 2016 is dense, full-bodied, and silky, with powerful yet integrated tannins. The finish is endless, with notes of sweet spices, black cherry, and a subtle balsamic touch. A great wine for contemplation, which will also perfectly complement rich dishes, red meats in sauce, or aged Parmesan.
