Santi traces its origins to 1843, when Carlo Santi established a wine cellar in the village of Illasi situated behind the Lessini Mountains, between the hills of Colognola and Lavagno. Santi is known and respected for its Veneto and Trentino wines. Trentino dialect, 'Sortesele' is the diminutive of sorti, or small parts of vineyard. According to ancient custom, Sortesele were large parcels of vineyard for which the heirs of an agricultural property drew lots. Santi Pinot Grigio thrives in the Valdadige vineyard, situated along the Adige valley. The estate is situated in the heart of the most acclaimed wine growing zones in the Veneto near Lake Garda and devoted to the production of Pinot Grigio, Valpolicella and Amarone. The family recently renovated the original winery that accommodates its modern winemaking facility and ageing cellar. In addition to experimenting with the benefits of ageing in new French oak barrels (barriques), Santi emphasizes new techniques to improve the quality of their wines. From the flagship Pinot Grigio "Sortesele" and Rose "Infinito", to Valpolicella and classic Amarone, all of their wines show a well balanced, polished international style.
