2018 Tenuta Sant'Antonio "Campo dei Gigli" Amarone della Valpolicella
95
Vinous
Review Date: 12/2023Remarkably pretty, yet dark and intense, the 2018 Amarone della Valpolicella Campo dei Gigli bursts from the glass with dusty notes of dried roses, balsamic spice, tobacco, dark chocolate and dried black cherries. Seamless and elegant in style, this envelops the palate with ripe red and blue fruits, taking on a bitter tinge of mocha and espresso toward the close. It finishes long and staining, with a coating of fine-grained tannins that adds a classically dry impression while minty herbal tones maintain freshness. This transcends the 2018 vintage, yet patience will be required. (EG)

Notes
Tenuta Sant'Antonio’s 2018 “Campo dei Gigli” is a monumental, single-vineyard Amarone that perfectly marries power, concentration, and elegance. From a classic, balanced vintage, this wine showcases exceptional depth and structure. The nose is deep, complex, and enveloping, with rich aromas of dried black cherry, fig preserve, and licorice, seamlessly interwoven with notes of dark chocolate, sweet tobacco, and balsamic herbs. On the palate, it’s full-bodied, powerful, and impeccably balanced, with a dense core of concentrated dark fruit supported by firm, velvety tannins and a vibrant acidity. The finish is exceptionally long and resonant, echoing with notes of exotic spice, cocoa, and mineral depth. A superb, cellar-worthy Amarone.
