About the Producer:
Run
by the Castagnedi family with the help of enologist Celestino
Gasparini, this young estate located in the Illasi Valley is already
widely recognized for
its
quality
wines
that
tend to
be
big and
polished.
The Castagnedi brothers, Armando, Massimo, Paolo, and Tiziano,
are following a 50-year family tradition of winemaking that has
seen and met many challenges and spanned many changes in production
methods and equipment. The brothers planted their land,
and 1995 was their
first vintage
of
Amarone.
Tenuta Sant'Antonio's Valpolicella is created through the ripasso
method. The Cabernet is made with the same method used for the
Amarone, a process known as appassimento; unlike the Amarone,
however, it is not a blend.
