The Story
In Italian, the name Amarone literally means “Great Bitter,” and was actually coined in 1936 within the very cellars of the Villa Mosconi in reference to a wine the Bertani family had been producing under the name “Recioto Secco,” (Dry Recioto) to distinguish from the much sweeter Veronese Recioto also produced using the “apassimento” technique. This Amarone is the most intense of the Tenuta Santa Maria wines, with its characteristic aromas and complexity. The wine is ruby red in color with garnet reflections, and the impact of cherry preserves, spices, and dried rose petals lend complexity and elegance to the nose. Warm and subtle on the palate, it presents an important structure and high alcohol content, balanced by velvety tannins and bright acidity and freshness.
About Tenuta Santa Maria
Brand Story
Centuries of experience and research handed downhave led to the development of a philosophy characterized by the continuous improvement of the quality of our production, marrying the cultivation and winemaking methods of ancient origins with the most interesting innovations gradually adopted throughout our history. In 1800 the family perfected the high density and low yield cultivation that we still use today both on our selections of native Veronese and international varieties to obtain grapes capable of producing wines of extraordinary elegance. In the vineyard today we use a targeted approach to environmental sustainability by reducing the use of chemical products as much as possible. Our particular approach to the Appassimento method for Amarone and the Ripasso method for Valpolicella.
