Basic Info

Valpolicella and Soave are two of the most ubiquitous Italian DOC wines. The Castagnedi's have turned them into something far beyond ordinary. They have also crafted superlative Amarone. In 1995, the four Castagnedi bothers, having tended their father Antonio's vineyards while growing up, decided to found their own venture with the goal of producing premium DOC wines. Tenuta Sant'Antonio has earned its reputation as a premium and progressive producer of Veneto DOC wines (Amarone, Valpolicella, Ripasso, Passito, Soave and Recioto della Valpolicella), as well as Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon. Tenuta Sant'Antonio wines are made from 100% estate-grown fruit from its vineyards in Soave in the Val d'Illasi, and Monti Garbi, its 100 hectares estate vineyard, 20 hectares in the Soave area and 80 hectares in the Valpolicella area.
