The 2015 San Antonio Amarone della Valpolicella Campo dei Gigli is a special, smaller-production cuvée that spent three years aging in new casks. Tenuta Sant'Antonio, established in 1995 by the Castagnedi brothers, is renowned for its Amarone, crafted using the traditional appassimento method of partially drying grapes to intensify flavors. This particular Amarone is sourced from the single vineyard "Campo dei Gigli," named after the "field of lilies" on the estate, located in the Valpolicella Est sub-zone, which is celebrated for producing wines with brighter acidity and freshness. The primary grape, Corvina, undergoes a three-month drying process before barrel fermentation and aging. This wine presents an impenetrable ruby red color with alluring purple reflections. The nose is complex, offering notes of chocolate, tar, tobacco, dried boysenberries, red licorice, and baking spices. Jeb Dunnuck praises its "gorgeously pure black and blue fruits, cedary herbs, chocolate, orange blossom, and spice notes" that dominate the aroma. James Suckling highlights "plenty of black pepper, blackberry bush and eucalyptus," which punctuate an otherwise blackberry-focused bouquet. On the palate, it is rich, powerful, and full-bodied, with hearty tannins, vibrant acidity, and a robust core of ripe, chewy fruit. Despite its richness, it maintains beautiful balance and a surprisingly light feel. The flavor is intensely persistent and robust. 【 Gorgeously pure black and blue fruits, cedary herbs, chocolate, orange blossom, and spice notes 】 Food pairing suggestions: This robust Amarone pairs exceptionally well with rich, hearty dishes such as braised short ribs, wild game, aged hard cheeses like Parmigiano-Reggiano, and substantial pasta dishes with meat sauces.
