WHO

Paolo Castagnedi, one of the four brothers who started Tenuta Sant'Antonio. This, their primary Amarone, is dedicated to their father, Antonio Castagnedi. 

HOW

The best grapes from different vineyards are selected for this wine and are brought to the winery's drying room to undergo the appassimento process. After at least 3 months of drying, the grapes have shriveled and lost much of their water, while retaining their sugar, flavor, and other components. Once fermented and aged in new barrels, the Amarone is a powerful wine, yet fruity, fresh, and clean.
