About the Wine:
High on a Tuscan hillside, not far from Siena and Perugia, sits the historic town of Cortona. A vast plain extends on one side and on the other, the hill and village. This is the captivating panorama surrounding the Santa Cristina winery, established in 2006 to strengthen and renew the tradition of crafting its eponymous wine, over 60 years after its first vintage. Over time, Santa Cristina has become a reference point for winemaking experts as well as wine enthusiasts due to our commitment to achieving quality. The diligent care taken in vineyards and cellar management have always been our incentive to continue with innovation and research in exploring indigenous as well as international grape varieties. The resulting family of wines are different yet highly distinguishable for their unmistakable artisanal style, proof of the enduring connection between vineyards, terroir and man’s dedication to the land. Santa Cristina Rosso is deeply rooted in traditions and everyday life, a wine that is able to express Tuscan typicity in a soft, enveloping and hospitable style.

Ratings & Reviews

90 Points, #49 Top 100 of 2024 - Wine Spectator:
"A balanced, supple version, with a smoky undertone to the black cherry and blackberry fruit. Graphite and rosemary accents join the long finish. Drink now through 2027." - Bruce Sanderson (Oct 2024)

Wine Enthusiast:
"On the nose, a powerful black cherry element hits you first, but quickly gives way to abundant herbaceous aromas of soil, oregano, sage and thyme. The palate explodes with berries, but a slightly bitter orange peel undertone and a flinty earthiness provide balance. Acid swishes past firm, grippy tannins." – Danielle Callegari (Sep 2024)
