Tenuta Sant'Antonio Description
The name Scaia is a local colloquialism that refers to crumbs of parmesan cheese, which the chalky soil in the area resembles. With a focus on quality over quantity and maintaining a balance between tradition and experimentation, the Scaia project incorporates regionally significant varietals such as Corvina, Rondinella and Garganega, as well as international varietals like Cabernet Sauvignon, into the wines. Producing single varietal wines from some of the traditional blending grapes of Valpolicella, such as Corvina and Rondinella, gives interesting expressions of these varietals that aren’t often tasted on their own. And while traditional methods of production such as ripasso are utilized in some of the red wines, the winery also utilizes advanced techniques such as pressing the grapes in inert environments to lend freshness and vivacity to the wines.
