M�rke: Tenuta Sant'Antonio

GRAPPA: The tender and caring procedure that starts with the meticulous selection of the grapes coming from the oldest vineyards on the estate and continues with the attentive and slow drying (raisining) of the same before they undergo particular vinification, ends with the creation of Amarone Campo dei Gigli – renowned masterpiece of the Castagnedi estate. This wine-symbol with its captivating force and more specifically its pomace is then distilled to create a noble grappa with refined, fragrant aromas. The traditional bain-marie batch method in small copper stills is used to carry out the magical and alchemical distillation of Grappa di Amarone Campo dei Gigli. The vibrant energy of this intensely satisfying grappa gives it an agreeably dry yet round and soft character. It offers a full aromatic sensation to the palate with a full body and warming alcoholic presence; the structure is harmonious and well defined. The penetrating and velvety bouquet offers a vague hint of the aromas of Amarone in all its fruity fragrance.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS: Best at the end of a meal and undoubtedly with a good cigar in front of a lit fire in the winter or on a terrace overlooking the sea or in the hills in summer, but in any case always in enjoyable company. The fragrant aromas of Grappa di Amarone should be enjoyed while relaxing... and the aromatic pleasures of the palate can be boosted with dark chocolate for those who allow themselves to be tempted.
