San Vincenzo was named after the church overlooking Anselmi's Monteforte d'Alpone vineyards. Roberto Anselmi resigned from the Soave Consorzio in 2000 and declassified all his wines to Veneto IGT, but San Vincenzo has remained his benchmark everyday white and an Italian restaurant staple internationally.
