Description

Valpolicella Superiore DOC “La Bandina” by Tenuta Sant’Antonio

“La Bandina” Valpolicella Superiore is a red wine that showcases the character of the region by highlighting the local grape heritage. Produced by Tenuta Sant’Antonio, it is made from a blend of Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, Croatina and Oseleta, native red grape varieties that represent the depth of Valpolicella viticulture. This label can be described as “comfortable,” as it offers a soft and warm sip with a smooth structure. It is classic, round and harmonious, yet it still manages to seduce like it is being tasted for the first time.

“La Bandina” is made from a blend of native Valpolicella grape varieties, grown in plots located about 300 meters above sea level on sandy and limestone soil. The grapes are gently pressed by Tenuta Sant’Antonio and the must ferments in steel containers before undergoing malolactic fermentation. It is aged for 24 months in new French oak tonneaux, resulting in a wine with an intense and concentrated ruby red color and a wide and stratified profile of aromas, including fruity notes and shades of aromatic herbs and spices. In the mouth, it is full-bodied and enveloping, with a fresh vein that balances its warm taste and finely integrated tannins. “La Bandina” is a key product of Tenuta Sant’Antonio’s production and a great introduction to the world of Valpolicella.

About Tenuta Sant'Antonio

Tenuta Sant’Antonio is led by four brothers who have been involved with vines and the land from an early age. Their roots in farming and strong ambitions are evident in the attention they give to every stage of production, always aiming for outstanding results.

Their vineyards lie between Soave and Valpolicella, two renowned areas with distinct characteristics. Valpolicella’s name comes from “Vallis-polis-cellae,” or “valley of many cellars”, reflecting a centuries-old winemaking tradition on compact limestone soils, moderated by breezes from Lake Garda. Soave belongs to the eastern Lessini Mountains, formed millions of years ago by underwater volcanic activity and the accumulation of fossil-based sediments. Both vineyard zones stand between 120 and 130 meters above sea level near the Alps, which provide a favorable climate for grape cultivation.

The Castagnedi family has always worked to protect the land and those who cultivate it, with an emphasis on wholesome methods that ensure authentic wines. They believe that Amarone, Valpolicella, and Soave are never identical, and they value their own approach in creating wines that reflect individual style. For those who appreciate a thoughtful choice, every bottle from Tenuta Sant’Antonio offers a clear expression of place and character.
