Santa Cristina Chianti Superiore [2019] 750ml/Red

Wine that inherits the DNA of Antinori, the prestigious family that created “Tignanero” and “Soraia”

Santa Cristina, a beloved wine in Italy, was born in Tuscany in 1946 as the fruit of the Antinori family's uncompromising efforts in winemaking. Antinori, a top Italian wine maker, continues to cherish this Santa Cristina as an approachable entry wine at an affordable price. A traditional winery that has been around since the 14th century, it was named after the church in Montefildolfi in the nearby Chianti Classico district that was dedicated to Saint Christina. Today, we continue to take on the challenge of innovation while valuing the soil, fields, and the handicrafts of people, based on the same simple philosophy of "appreciating our connection to the land" as we did when we were founded.

Wine making nurtured by a historic town and fertile soil

The history of Cortona, home to the Santa Cristina winery, can be traced back to ancient Roman times. Cortona was the most important stronghold of the ancient Etruscans and was often depicted by famous writers and historians such as Herodotus and Pliny. The Santa Cristina fields are located on a hill with a great view overlooking the villages, at an altitude of approximately 585 meters, around the historic city of Cortona. The land is fertile, containing sediment from rivers and lakes, sand, clay and a little calcium, creating a wonderful balance of diverse elements. With such a privileged environment, Santa Cristina continues to preserve the good old Tuscan winemaking tradition.
