About Santa Cristina
Category Wines, Spirits & Ciders
Santa Cristina is native to Tuscany, Italy, where its diversity of countryside provides unique characteristics which are reflected in their wines.
High on a Tuscan hillside, not far from Siena and Perugia, sits the historic town of Cortona. A vast plain extends on one side and on the other, the hill and village. This is the captivating panorama surrounding the Santa Cristina winery, established in 2006 to strengthen and renew the tradition of crafting its eponymous wine, over 70 years after its first vintage. Over time, Santa Cristina has become a reference point for winemaking experts as well as wine enthusiasts due to our commitment to achieving quality. Enduring and intriguing, Santa Cristina has become a timeless Tuscan classic with contemporary finesse. The diligent care taken in vineyards and cellar management have always been our incentive to continue with innovation and research in exploring indigenous as well as international grape varieties. The resulting family of wines are different yet highly distinguishable for their unmistakable artisanal style, proof of the enduring connection between vineyards, terroir and man’s dedication to the land.
The Santa Cristina winery was built from a project developed by Studio Hydea in Florence. This modern structure’s design was based on criteria of minimal environmental impact and maximum respect for the surrounding territory. The winery was named after Santa Cristina Red, a historic wine and symbol of the winery for over 70 years. The concept behind the project was to allow the grapes to be accompanied from the vineyards, through each phase of fermentation, aging, bottling, and packaging. State-of-the-art technology and attentive ongoing research for the highest quality strengthen and consolidate ancient winemaking traditions and love for the Tuscan territory.
