Description
The Tenuta Sant'Antonio Valpolicella Nanfrè is a fresh and fruity red wine from the eastern part of Valpolicella in Veneto. Made from Corvina and Rondinella, the wine demonstrates how elegant and drinkable a modern Valpolicella can be. Nanfrè is named after the nickname of the vineyard's former owner and symbolizes the authentic origin of this wine. Thanks to its lower alcohol content and emphasis on freshness, this is a particularly versatile red wine.
Cherries, Red Berries, Violets, and a Hint of Spices
The wine has a clear ruby red color and opens with aromas of ripe cherries, raspberries, and red berries. Subtle notes of violets, Mediterranean herbs, and a light spiciness are also present. On the palate, the wine is smooth, juicy, and elegant, with fresh red fruit, soft tannins, and a refined, subtly spicy finish that invites another sip.
Traditional Valpolicella without Oak Aging
The wine is made from 70% Corvina and 30% Rondinella, sourced from calcareous vineyards in the Illasi Valley. No dried grapes are used, and the wine is not aged in wood. This preserves the fresh fruit entirely, resulting in a light, elegant Valpolicella with great purity and vibrancy.
Perfect with Pasta, Pizza, and Light Meat Dishes
This Valpolicella is an ideal accompaniment to pasta with tomato sauce, risotto, pizza, antipasti, cured meats, grilled chicken, veal, and light stews. Its fresh character also pairs excellently with Mediterranean fish dishes, baccalà, and an extensive charcuterie board with Italian delicacies.
Tenuta Sant'Antonio
Tenuta Sant'Antonio was founded by the four Castagnedi brothers and is now one of Valpolicella's leading wineries. From their vineyards in the Illasi Valley, they produce elegant wines where freshness, terroir, and balance are central. The winery enjoys significant international acclaim, and the 2023 vintage of Nanfrè received excellent ratings from Falstaff, Jancis Robinson, and Gambero Rosso, among others.
