Amarone is the symbolic wine of Valpolicella, and Corte Saibante produces it with full respect for the region’s heritage. The grapes are grown in San Pietro in Cariano and Sant’Ambrogio, historical villages known for producing long-ageing Amarone thanks to their clay-rich soils, hillside ventilation and old vines.

The estate uses traditional techniques — extended drying, long maceration, large oak aging — combined with modern cellar control to craft a wine that is both opulent and precise. Amarone here is not merely powerful; it is a patient wine, shaped by time.

Intense ruby red with hints of garnet from prolonged aging.

The wine opens with a rich fragrance of dried fruits, fig, plum, raisin, and candied cherry. Notes of cocoa, sweet spices, balsamic herbs and a touch of liqueur-like warmth follow.

On the palate it is full-bodied, smooth, warm and dry, unfolding with deep black fruit, dried cherries, and gentle bittersweet cocoa. The tannins are velvety yet firm, and the finish is long, persistent and enveloping.

Pairing: Exceptional with stewed meats, wild game, aged cheeses, or as a meditative after-dinner wine.

Corte Saibante: A Tradition of Passion and Excellence in Valpolicella

In the heart of Valpolicella, where gentle vineyards meet centuries-old cellars, Corte Saibante stands as a symbol of tradition, craftsmanship, and deep dedication to outstanding wines. Along the Adige River, past the historic beauty of Trento, stretches a region world-renowned for its exceptional wines – Amarone, Recioto, and Valpolicella. Here, Corte Saibante preserves the essence of this unique terroir, blending authenticity with the highest quality.

Led by Mario, a passionate winemaker, the estate produces wines that reflect his meticulous approach and strong connection to the region. His creations – Amarone della Valpolicella, Valpolicella Classico, and Ripasso – embody a philosophy close to our hearts: family-run values, organic cultivation, quality over quantity, and a deep respect for nature.

A visit to Corte Saibante is a journey into the world of traditional Valpolicella winemaking. From the gentle destemming and pressing of the grapes to the crucial drying and aeration process that gives Amarone its depth, and finally the maturation in one of the region’s oldest cellars – every step honors time-tested craftsmanship.

Alongside the estate’s signature wines, there is also room for innovation: Mario’s latest project, a fresh and fruit-forward rosé, points toward a promising future while remaining true to regional traditions.

Corte Saibante is more than a winery – it is a guardian of Valpolicella’s rich winemaking heritage, crafting authentic wines that capture the aromas, character, and soul of this exceptional region.

Production method

The grapes are harvested manually, selecting only the finest bunches before they begin their slow drying process. In the fruttaio, they rest for more than one hundred days, losing around forty-five percent of their weight and concentrating their sugars. Pressing takes place between December and January, followed by fermentation in stainless-steel tanks using the Ganimede system at controlled temperatures of 16–18 °C.

The wine then undergoes a long maceration of thirty to forty days with regular délestages and gentle bâtonnage. Malolactic fermentation takes place in 20-hl durmast barrels, after which the Amarone begins its extended maturation: twenty-four months in 500–1000-L Allier durmast barrels, a further twelve months in 20-hl casks, and finally twelve months of bottle refinement.

The result is a full-bodied, structured wine with significant ageing potential.

🍇 Selection

At Tresmundi, every wine is chosen with the utmost care – guided by the expertise of a certified wine professional with WSET Level 2. With deep knowledge of viticulture, winemaking, and tasting, we ensure that every bottle in our collection meets the highest standards of quality, balance, and character.

We focus on wines that tell a story – whether it’s a hidden gem from a small family estate or a timeless classic from a renowned region. What we offer is more than a drink: it’s an experience.

Food and wine are two of our greatest passions. They are among the richest and most rewarding pleasures in life – and we indulge in them as often as possible. When selecting our producers, we consider not only taste, appearance, or awards, but also their values, traditions, and sense of place. Above all, we value passion and respect for nature and craftsmanship. We make sure that each producer’s philosophy and vision are reflected in every drop.

Our focus lies on small, family-run wineries that work with dedication and heart. Every wine has a story worth telling. You won’t find these bottles in supermarkets – nor in the vast catalogs of large online retailers. Our wines, and the stories they tell, are meant to be discovered and appreciated.

🏡 Storage

For us, every wine tasting is a sensual experience. Proper storage therefore plays a crucial role in preserving quality.

All wines in our selection at Tresmundi are kept in a specially designed wine cellar in Hamburg, maintained with controlled temperature, humidity, and sound insulation.

Bottles are stored horizontally and away from light sources, ensuring the cork remains in contact with the wine to prevent unwanted oxidation. This careful process allows each wine to develop beautifully and reach you in perfect condition.

📦 Delivery

Our wines are shipped in certified DHL packaging designed specifically for safe wine transport (for wine orders only). If your order includes other products, we wrap each bottle securely in bubble wrap to minimize the risk of breakage.
