Product Overview
Winery's Notes
"Undisputedly symbolic of the Speri company, the Amarone Sant’Urbano is a superb example of a fine, classic wine. It is an extraordinary wine with great complexity and a vigorous structure, which has always been top for its elegance and quality.
The Monte Sant’Urbano property in the municipality of Fumane: located on a hill at between 280 and 350 m./a.s.l., it benefits from excellent exposure to sunlight. The average age of the vines is high.
Manual selection of the finest bunches followed by drying for around 100 days, with a loss of about 40% in the weight of the grapes. These are destemmed and pressed and fermentation with maceration takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks.
A deep garnet red in color, it has an ethereal bouquet of dried fruit. On the palate, it is full-bodied, warm, mouth-filling and dry. A substantial wine of rare elegance that lends itself well to ageing."

"The 2020 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Sant'Urbano seduces with a savory and darkly alluring blend of dried black cherries, mentholated herbs, clove and shavings of citrus-laced dark chocolate. It sweeps across the palate with textures of pure silk, showcasing stunning minerality as crisp red berry fruits cascade across a core of stimulating acidity. It finishes incredibly long, leaving a salty flourish and a bitter cocoa twang as grippy tannins frame the experience beautifully. The 2020 possesses an incredibly classic feel." -EG, Sep/2025
93 Points - Wine Spectator
"Sculpted tannins are a compact, chewy frame for this structured red, which is fleshed out nicely by flavors of chocolate-covered cherry, fig cake, cured tobacco, anise hyssop and loamy earth. The rich profile expands on the palate, opening well, yet remains fresh and focused through to the fragrant finish. Enjoy today with decanting or keep this in the cellar for a bit. Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella. Best from 2027 through 2040. 4,000 cases made, 600 cases imported." -AN, 11/30/25
