Santi traces its origins to 1843, when Carlo Santi established a wine cellar in the village of Illasi situated behind the Lessini Mountains, between the hills of Colognola and Lavagno. Santi is known and respected for its Veneto and Trentino wines. Santi is situated in the heart of the most acclaimed wine growing zones in the Veneto near Lake Garda. Devoted to the production of Soave Classico, Pinot Grigio, Valpolicella and Amarone, Santi wines are mainly crafted from estate-grown fruit, or from long-standing relationships under the supervision of the Santi winemaking team. Santi has fully renovated the original winery that accommodates its modern winemaking facility and ageing cellar. In addition to experimenting with the benefits of ageing in new French oak barrels (barriques), Santi emphasizes new techniques to improve the quality of their wines. From the flagship Pinot Grigio “Sortesele” and crisp Soave “Vigneti di Monteforte” and Rose “Infinito”, to Valpolicella Classico “Solane” and the classic Amarone, all of Santi’s wines show a well balanced, polished international style. Excellence is doing ordinary things in an extraordinary way. Excellence is Ageless.
Intense red color; the nose stands out for its complexity, with evident hints of plum, cherry jam and tea leaf followed by notes of dried fruit, licorice and chocolate. On the palate it is full-bodied and round, with a perfect combination of sweet tannins, acidity and the return of the scents felt on the nose, which give a long and savory aftertaste. “Proemio” is an elegant, austere, classic Amarone that can safely be forgotten in the cellar, for it defies time, anticipating it and summing up the future, just like its namesake.
