Descrizione

The Sauvignon IGT Animale Celeste from the Santa Barbara winery presents a fresh and straightforward profile, ideal for those seeking a white wine for immediate drinking. Visually it shows a straw-yellow, clear color with slight greenish reflections. On the nose there are notes of citrus, white flowers and a hint of herbaceousness that recalls the variety without being overpowering. On the palate the sip is saline and lively, supported by good acidity that balances the rather light structure; the finish is clean and easy to read, suitable for everyday consumption but with a recognizable personality.

It pairs simply with seafood, salads and light pasta dishes, but can also accompany grilled vegetables or fresh cheeses. It is recommended to serve it chilled, around 8–10 °C, in a tulip glass to capture the aromas; opening it shortly before serving is sufficient. It is a practical choice for informal meals and small convivial moments, suited to those who appreciate clean and direct white wines without excessive over-structure. Storing it in a cool, light-protected place helps preserve the aromatic sensations.

Winery history

The winery and its name are tied to the village of Barbara; the production site occupies an old monastery. Stefano Antonucci, from the area, leads the company — after a banking career he returned to Barbara to grow the family wine business and launch labels such as Pignocco and other experimental wines.

Production philosophy

Passion and innovation, respect for the land and grapes. The estate often makes experimental yet drinkable wines: “to make the wine that I like first of all, a wine for the drinker.” Organic practices are used for some labels, including Back to Basics.

Terroir and vineyards

Located in Barbara (province of Ancona), Marche. Vineyards on hills around 260 m a.s.l.; clayey soils, northwest exposure. Appellation: Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi (DOC).
