Descrizione

This Umbria IGT Bianco from Santa Cristina is a white wine with a fresh, balanced profile, intended for everyday drinking. In the glass it shows a luminous straw-yellow color and aromas that recall white flowers, yellow-fleshed fruit and citrus notes, with a slight minerality. There are also delicate hints of green apple, pear and a touch of aromatic herbs. The attack on the palate is lively, with moderate acidity and restrained body that make it smooth and pleasant; the finish is clean and leaves a sense of freshness.

It pairs with light starters, fish dishes that are not overly seasoned, salads and fresh cheeses; it is also suitable as an aperitif. Serve chilled, around 8–10 °C, in tulip glasses to highlight its aromas. Produced by Santa Cristina, it is aimed at those seeking an immediate, versatile white without particular oenological pretensions, one that emphasizes conviviality and simplicity. Store the bottle in a cool, light-protected place; drink preferably young to appreciate its freshness and liveliness.

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.
