Producer Information: Antiche Terre Venete
Antiche Terre Venete is rooted in the heart of Valpantena, a fertile valley just north of Verona, where the family-run estate has cultivated vineyards since the early 1900s. Drawing on generations of expertise, they blend traditional Veronese winemaking with modern techniques, focusing on minimal intervention to express the unique terroir of their limestone-rich soils. Their philosophy centers on sustainable viticulture and careful grape selection, particularly for classic varietals like Corvina and Rondinella. Beyond their celebrated Amarone della Valpolicella, Antiche Terre Venete crafts elegant Ripasso and fresh Soave wines that highlight the diversity of Veneto’s microclimates. The estate also produces a limited range of grappa distilled from their own pomace, reflecting a commitment to quality across both wine and spirits categories within this storied Italian region.

Blended Red Wine is a harmonious combination of various grape varieties, crafted to create a complex and balanced flavor profile. Typically featuring grapes such as Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Zinfandel, and Grenache, these wines showcase an array of taste sensations that include dark fruits like blackberry and plum alongside red fruits such as cherry and raspberry. The addition of spices like pepper and clove, along with herbal notes of mint and eucalyptus, further enriches the experience.
This wine style is characterized by its medium to full-bodied texture with smooth tannins and balanced acidity. Aromas of blackcurrant, vanilla, oak, chocolate, and leather contribute to its inviting bouquet. Blended Red Wines are often aged in oak barrels for added complexity and undergo malolactic fermentation for a softer mouthfeel. Ideal for casual gatherings or dinner parties, they pair beautifully with grilled meats, hearty pasta dishes like Bolognese, barbecue fare, and aged cheeses.
