Descrizione

Valpolicella Superiore DOC - Ventale - Santi is a fine selection that best expresses the quality and winemaking tradition of Valpolicella, expertly offered by the Santi winery. This Valpolicella Superiore, under the "Ventale" label, is the result of a careful selection of the best grapes, which after adequate maturation, are carefully vinified and refined to enhance the richness and complexity of the blend.

Of a deep and inviting ruby red colour, the Ventale opens on the nose with an intensely aromatic bouquet, where notes of cherry, berries and a subtle hint of sweet spices stand out, the legacy of a skilful passage in wood which helps to define its profile olfactory without overpowering the freshness of the fruit.

On the palate, it reveals an elegant and harmonious structure. The balance between acidity and tannins is finely calibrated, supporting a medium body that unfolds in a soft and enveloping texture. Ripe red fruit flavors blend with vanilla accents and a touch of leather, highlighting the complexity and depth of the wine, finishing with a lingering and rewarding finish.

This Valpolicella Superiore lends itself magnificently to accompanying a variety of dishes, from those based on red meat, such as roasts and braised meats, to medium-aged cheeses, offering a versatility that makes it suitable for different occasions, from informal dinners to festive banquets.

Winery history

Cantina Santi was founded as a winery in Illasi and has been present in Valpolicella since the 19th century. During the 20th century the Santi family introduced technical innovations and progressively focused on high-end wines; in 1974 the winery became part of Gruppo Italiano Vini, which reinforced investments and facilities while preserving its local identity.

Production philosophy

Santi claims a style tied to the sense of place of Valpolicella: it favors the predominant use of Corvina in its selections, aging in large traditional casks, and the use of local woods to enhance the aromatic qualities typical of native grape varieties. The approach combines oenological research with respect for local practices.

Terroir and vineyards

Santi's vineyards and selections are concentrated in Val d'Illasi and the classic areas of Valpolicella, using a vineyard-selection approach across different exposures and microclimates to produce wines that reflect the local terroir. The winery also works with vineyards in other Veronese appellations such as Soave, Bardolino and Lugana.
