The Santi winery has been a protagonist in Valpolicella since 1843, the year in which it was founded in Illasi, a historic village at the eastern end of the province of Verona, nestled close to the Lessini Mountains. Here, in the shadow of a medieval castle, among the hills of the valley then called Longazeria, the production of the typical wines of the area is established, led by Carlo Santi, the founder. Right from the start, the Santi family chose to focus on quality and the strict selection of raw materials, using only the best grapes from the vineyards owned by the most suitable areas. The success of its wines induces the company to obtain supplies also from local suppliers, with whom a relationship of trust is consolidated over time which today allows direct management of the vineyards.
