More questions
Giardino Rosè Toscana IGT by Santa Cristina is a rosé intended for immediate drinking pleasure. It shows a pale pink colour; on the nose there are fruity impressions, light notes of small red fruits and citrus plus subtle floral hints that do not dominate. On the palate it is slender, with pleasant acidity, a light body, smooth and balanced; the finish is clean and invites another sip, making it suitable for early consumption.
This rosé pairs well with a variety of dishes: antipasti, summer salads, light fish dishes and fresh cheeses are natural companions. It also works with Mediterranean dishes and pizza and is suitable for informal, convivial occasions from aperitif to outdoor lunches. Serve chilled, around 8–10 °C, to appreciate its liveliness. Store in a cool place, avoid prolonged exposure to light and temperature swings; preferably consume within a short timeframe to maintain freshness and aromas.

The story
The Santa Cristina winery is presented online as an enterprise deeply rooted in the Cortona area. The company's official documents state that the new facility was launched in 2006 to revive and renew the tradition of the namesake wine, whose first vintage dates back to 1946; since then production has evolved with a continued focus on quality, research and a dialogue between indigenous and international grape varieties.
Production philosophy
The production style emphasizes the connection between the vineyard, the terroir and human craftsmanship: careful attention to the vineyards, cellar practices designed to express freshness and typicity, and an approach that integrates local varieties with international grape varieties to create wines that are approachable yet distinctive.
Terroir and vineyards
The estate and vineyards are located on the plateau and the hills surrounding Cortona, in Tuscany, an area characterized by rolling landscapes between Siena and Perugia. The winery produces wines tied to the appellations and the soil and climatic characteristics of the territory.
