The first vintage of Santa Cristina was produced in 1946, becoming in time a point of reference for connoisseurs, not only through an unswerving commitment to quality. Just like a good story, Santa Cristina never gets old.
The care and attention always oriented to follow up the winemaking were also fundametal to search for a continue innovation and dealing with indigenous and international varieties, giving rise to a family of different products but bears the same style, the result of a indissoluble link between the vineyard, terroir and man’s work.
The products of the family Santa Cristina were born from this simple philosophy, thanks to a continuous bond with the land. Since 1946, continues this dedication, to still preserve the quality of Santa Cristina.
Legendary in Italy for its Renaissance art and striking landscape, Tuscany is also home to many of the country’s best red wines. Sangiovese reigns supreme here, as either the single varietal, or a dominant player, in almost all of Tuscany’s best.
A remarkable Chianti, named for its region of origin, will have a bright acidity, supple tannins and plenty of cherry fruit character. From the hills and valleys surrounding the medieval village of Montalcino, come the distinguished and age-worthy wines based on Brunello (Sangiovese). Earning global acclaim since the 1970s, the Tuscan Blends are composed solely of international grape varieties or a mix of international and Sangiovese. The wine called Vine Nobile di Montepulciano, composed of Prognolo Gentile (Sangiovese) and is recognized both for finesse and power.
