Tenuta Sant’Antonio is one of the leading family-owned estates in Colognola ai Colli, in the Veneto region of northeastern Italy, situated between the renowned appellations of Soave and Valpolicella. The winery was founded in 1989 by the four Castagnedi brothers—Armando, Tiziano, Paolo, and Massimo— who grew up working alongside their father in the vineyards and later pursued a shared vision of creating wines that would elevate the reputation of their family’s historic landholdings. Today, Tenuta Sant’Antonio is recognized as one of Veneto’s benchmark producers, known for combining innovation with deep respect for regional tradition.

The estate farms vineyards throughout the hills of eastern Verona, where elevations, exposure, and soil diversity contribute to exceptional grape quality. The vineyards are planted on a mix of limestone, volcanic, and clay-rich soils, providing excellent drainage and mineral complexity. The Castagnedi family focuses on the classic grapes of the region, including Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, Garganega, and Trebbiano di Soave. Many vineyards are hillside sites with low yields and meticulous canopy management, allowing the family to produce wines with both concentration and freshness. The region’s cooling breezes and significant day-to-night temperature swings help preserve acidity and aromatic complexity.
