Description
The Amarone della Valpolicella Selezione from Tenuta Sant'Antonio is an impressive red wine from the heart of Veneto. For this prestigious Amarone, only the best Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, Croatina, and Oseleta grapes are selected. Thanks to the traditional appassimento method, where the grapes dry for about three months, a wine with exceptional concentration, depth, and elegance is created. Despite its powerful character, this Amarone remains remarkably fresh and perfectly balanced.
Ripe cherries, dark chocolate, laurel, and black pepper
The wine has a deep ruby red color and an intense aroma of ripe cherries, dried dark fruit, and blackcurrants. Additionally, refined notes of laurel, fresh herbs, black pepper, dark chocolate, and a hint of cocoa emerge. On the palate, it is powerful, rich, and velvety, with ripe tannins, a beautiful freshness, and a remarkably long, elegant finish where fruit and spiciness beautifully intertwine.
Traditional appassimento and 24 months of wood aging
The grapes are hand-harvested in several rounds and then dried for about three months. This natural drying process causes the grapes to lose moisture, greatly increasing the concentration of aromas, sugars, and flavors. After a slow fermentation, the wine then ages for 24 months in 500-liter oak barrels, followed by at least six months of bottle aging. This creates an Amarone with great complexity and excellent aging potential.
Perfect with game, truffle, red meat, and aged cheeses
This Amarone is an ideal companion for game dishes, truffle risotto, grilled beef, lamb, slow-cooked stews, and poultry. Its rich character also fully comes into its own with aged hard cheeses. Thanks to its impressive structure, it is also a wine to leisurely enjoy on its own.
Tenuta Sant'Antonio
Tenuta Sant'Antonio is one of the most renowned wineries in Valpolicella. The four Castagnedi brothers combine traditional viticulture with modern techniques and boast carefully maintained vineyards on limestone and clay soils. Through low yields, sustainable cultivation, and great attention to quality, the winery belongs to the absolute top of the region. Their Amarone Selezione is an excellent example of the rich yet elegant style for which Tenuta Sant'Antonio is internationally acclaimed.
Why choose Amarone della Valpolicella Selezione?

The combination of ripe cherries, dried fruit, dark chocolate, spices, and soft tannins creates an impressive wine that is already wonderfully drinkable, but will also continue to develop for years to come.

Let customers speak for us
We hebben hemmin Maastricht leren kennen en laten hem niet meer los. Een volle wijn die in balans is. We proeven zachte tonen van abrikoos en perzik maar ook de frisheid van citrus. Het beetje aards, mineralig maakt hem
Interessant.
Wij vinden hem erg lekker bij een risotto met zeevruchten.
Goede service, maar onze intercommen liggen eruit dus de bezorger kon niet bellen, toen de dichtstbijzijnde afleveradres Lidl,
Maar hele klus om zware doos te vervoeren, daarom maar een winkelwagen meegenomen.
Very tasty kosher wine, exactly my taste. Fast delivery, would definitely order again!
Een heerlijk zoete rode wijn uit Israël voor Avondmaalsvieringen. Ook lekker voor mensen die nooit drinken
Zie boven.
Het is heerlijke koshere druivensap voor Shabbat.
Habe jetzt das 2te mal hier bestellt und es lief wie beim ersten Mal alles super, danke
Schnelle Lieferung, sicher verpackt, rundum ein zuverlässiger Händler!
Empfehle ich gerne weiter.
wel even lucht geven en niet al te koud drinken. heerlijk bij de dis of tapas, maar voor zomaar ook heerlijk.
Kan bij bijna alles, maar is los ook erg lekker. (en met een zak chips -hoe oneerbieding - ook zo op) ;-)
Wel even een beetje lucht geven (goede decateren - kan een beetje droesem hebben), deze wijn is in het begin wat verlegen, maar met een beetje aanmoediging een echte gangmaker.
