Stars from the Consorzio Tutela Vini Valpolicella, for Amarone della Valpolicella
A very good, cool year. Fresh weather all season and careful work in the vineyards.
Perhaps the coolest year of the decade, one that called for careful vineyard work.
A long, cold winter and a very rainy February led into a slow spring. April to June swung between warm and cold with heavy rain, and the summer stayed slightly cool and wet. Vines grew vigorously, with good sized bunches that were looser than usual. Wide temperature swings late in the season built sugar and colour well. Harvest began on time, from 23 September, with light intermittent rain that did not harm the grapes.
Amarone della Valpolicella Docg Riserva “Lilium Est” by Tenuta Sant’Antonio
Indulge in the rich and intense Amarone della Valpolicella Riserva “Lilium Est” by Tenuta Sant’Antonio. Crafted from a blend of Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, Croatina and Oseleta grapes, carefully handpicked from vineyards in Monti Garbi, Mezzane di Sotto, this wine is a masterpiece of the art of winemaking.
The wine’s inky ruby red color and intense aroma are a prelude to its complex flavor profile. Balsamic and iodine notes combine with the fragrance of ripe cherries, plums, and woodland berries. Aromatic spices like star anise, cinnamon, cardamom, black pepper, vanilla, and ginger add depth and complexity, while tertiary aromas of cocoa, chocolate, goudron, almond, toasted hazelnuts, and pipe tobacco elevate the experience.
On the palate, the wine is dry, warm, and soft, well-balanced by notable acidity, richness of flavor, and rounded tannin content. The finish is fine and persistent, leaving a memorable aftertaste.
This wine is aged for 3 years in new Bordeaux barrels, followed by a minimum of 4 years in a bottle before being released to the market. Pair it with charcoal-grilled red meats, roast beef, braised meat, sliced beef or foal, roasts with tasty sauces, furred and feathered game, or hard and mature cheeses. This wine is ready to be savored now or stored for later, a true testament to the winemakers’ dedication to the craft.

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.
