Pleasant red with some decent, juicy plum and berry character. A little bit too fluid on the palate, but nice while it lasts. Drink now. (James Suckling)

A rather deep nose, with a mineral twist jumping out from the black chocolate and tarry blackberries. Quite juicy on the medium-to full-bodied palate, rounded by firm and resolved tannins. Attractive freshness to the dark-berry fruit in the finish. Lovely now, so why hold?
SP9292 pts. - Wine Spectator - Nov 30, 2022
Enticing smoke and spice notes on the nose underscore flavors of baked blackberry, cured tobacco, bacon fat and rich earth in this sculpted red. Packs a rich profile on a medium- to full-bodied frame, yet this is well-balanced and poised, thanks to fresh acidity, a minerally underpinning and fine-grained tannins. Corvina, Rondinella and Corvinone. Best from 2023 through 2030. 30,000 cases made, 7,000 cases imported. (Alison Napjus)

The 2018 Valpolicella Superiore Ripasso Ripassa is peppery with earth tones and crushed store giving way to black cherries and savory herbs. There are depths of silken textures here offset by brisk acids, as ripe red and black fruits resonate under an air of lavender. This is so concentrated and intense, yet communicating elegance, while leaving the palate fresh with hints of violet candies that linger. The 2018 will need a short stay in the cellar to develop its aromatics. Well done. (Eric Guido)

Dark cherries, blackberries, mussels, licorice, figs and some finely ground black chocolate, following through to a medium-to full-bodied palate with elegant berries and a bittersweet black-chocolate note. A refined, textbook Amarone that shows great poise and modern drinkability. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold. (James Suckling)
VN9494 pts. - Vinous - Mar 2023
There’s an exotic flair to the 2018 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Sant’Urbano as foreign spices, dusty dried roses, red currants and blood orange hints form its bouquet. This is supple and enveloping with stimulating acidity that adds an energetic feel, as tart cherry and raspberry fruits drench the palate. Its minerality comes through in the finish, almost salty in character as grippy tannins saturate, yet the wine remains amazingly fresh. The 2018 is wonderfully balanced and potent, a total success for the vintage. (Eric Guido)

A dark, rich Valpolicella, exuding steeped blackberry, date, ashy smoke and fragrant accents of violet, wild sage and warm brown bread. Medium-bodied and creamy, with supple tannins and a touch of coffee liqueur on the finish. Distinctive. Drink now through 2028. 2,000 cases made. (Alison Napjus)

Ripe and crunchy blueberries and plums here, together with hints of chocolate, bark and walnuts. Medium-to full-bodied with a fine, chalky tannin structure and vivid acidity. Rich and intense, with delicious dark-fruit character and notes of wet leaves and spices to close. Drink or hold. (James Suckling)

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.
RP9191 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 16th Dec 2021
The Santi 2016 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Santico is an accessible expression of 80% Corvina and 20% Rondinella from a balanced and elegant vintage. The wine delivers the basics and doesn’t venture far beyond. It offers a pretty assembly of dark fruit, spice, tar and campfire ash. Fruit is sourced from some of Santi’s historic growing sites in San Pietro in Cariano, Fumane and Marano between 150 and 300 meters in elevation. Production is an ample 75,000 bottles.
