Descrizione

The Toscana IGT Rosso from Santa Cristina is an approachable, versatile red wine intended for everyday drinking. On the nose it opens with fruity notes and subtle spicy hints that remain restrained; on the palate it shows medium body, soft tannins and a balance that makes it enjoyable both on its own and with food. The finish is clean and drinkable, suited to those seeking a simple yet carefully made wine.

It pairs easily with Italian dishes such as pasta with tomato sauce, meat dishes and medium-aged cheeses; it is also suitable for barbecues and informal meals. Serve slightly chilled to highlight freshness and the aromatic profile without overpowering it. It also offers good value for daily consumption.

Winery history

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.
