Description
The Tenuta Sant'Antonio Amarone Campo dei Gigli 2018 is the absolute flagship of Tenuta Sant'Antonio and belongs to the most prestigious Amarones from Valpolicella. The grapes come from the historic Campo dei Gigli vineyard, where the calcareous soil and low yields ensure grapes with exceptional concentration. After traditional appassimento and long aging in oak, a powerful, complex Amarone with impressive aging potential is created.
Ripe dark fruit, spices, licorice, tobacco and chocolate
This Amarone has a deep ruby red color with light garnet hues. The nose reveals intense aromas of ripe black cherries, blackberries, and forest fruits, followed by notes of licorice, black pepper, tobacco, cocoa, spices, and subtle woody influences. The taste is powerful and concentrated with silky tannins, a full body, and an exceptionally long, elegant finish in which fruit, spices, and minerality beautifully combine.
Traditional appassimento and three years of oak aging
The grapes are hand-picked and then dried for about three months using the traditional appassimento method. This causes the grapes to lose moisture and significantly increases their flavor concentration. After a long fermentation, the wine then matures for three years in oak barrels and another twelve months in the bottle. This results in an Amarone with enormous depth, structure, and excellent aging potential.
Perfect with game, grilled red meat, and aged cheeses
This powerful Amarone pairs excellently with game dishes, grilled beef, stews, lamb, dishes with rich sauces, and old hard cheeses. Its complex character also comes into its own as a meditation wine after dinner.
Tenuta Sant'Antonio
Tenuta Sant'Antonio is one of the leading wineries in Veneto. The four Castagnedi brothers combine generations of wine knowledge with modern techniques and produce wines that are highly acclaimed internationally. Campo dei Gigli is considered the flagship of the winery and is awarded annually by leading wine critics.

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.
