"A big, heady Amarone with dense aromas and flavors of dried black fruit, together with hints of ground nuts and a whiff of fresh oak and balsamic. Full-bodied with robust, fine tannin that is staring to integrate with the intense fruit. But it will take a while yet. Drink from 2024"

Product Description:

A captivating icon of the local territory, Santico perfectly represents the amazing style of Amarone, a wine famous worldwide for its pleasing elegance. With its elegant hints of red fruit accompanied by a tangy flavor, Santico is aged for 30 months in wood barrels of different sizes, origins, and toasting, followed by several months in the bottle. Dark red hue; concentrated, fragrant nose with top notes of cherry jam and cranberries, followed by hints of plum, dried fruit and cocoa. On the palate it is full, round, with velvety tannins, pleasantly tangy with a long finish, with notes of red berries and an alluring full flavor.
