Santa Cristina winery has been producing traditional chianti styles for earlier drinking since 1946. Softer extraction and more fruit driven wines, means these offer great value and approachability early on. The focus of the estate has always been to produce wines that show the link between the vineyard, terroir and man’s work. Their continued focus is to preserve the quality and accessibility of the wines from this estate.

Type & Grape: Red, 100% Sangiovese

Origin: Tuscany, Italy.

Tasting notes: Ruby red in color with violet hues. Aromas of red fruit, blackberries and plums are dominant on the nose, softly merging with notes of balsamic, coffee and cocoa. Velvety tannins and excellent freshness on the palate sustain the long savory finish that is redolent of aromas perceived on the nose.

Food Pairing: Ideal with hearty pasta dishes, grilled meats, and mature cheeses.
