Above a high hill in Tuscany, not far from Siena and Perugia, stands the ancient town of Cortona. On one side the spacious plain, on the other the hill and the village. This is the view from the Santa Cristina winery, established in 2006 to confirm and renew the tradition of its namesake wine, more than 60 years after the first vintage.
Over time, Santa Cristina has become a reference point for wine experts, and not only, thanks to an unwavering commitment to quality.
Tasting notes: by red color with violet hues. Pleasant and intense fruity aromas of cherry, blackberry, plum combine with notes of vanilla and coffee. Soft, enveloping and with a fruity aftertaste.
Pairings: perfect with appetizers and earthy first courses, white and red meats, medium-aged cheeses.
