"Round and fruity, with berry, spice and chocolate character. Medium-bodied, with a fresh finish. Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah" (Wine Spectator: Score-87).

“Aromas of pear drop and dried banana follow through to a medium body, with bright acidity, a medium finish and a lemony aftertaste. A no-nonsense white from Tuscany. Trebbiano, Malvasia, Chardonnay, Pinot Bianco and Pinot Grigio.”

(Wine Spectator 85 Points)

• The vineyards are east/north-east facing but despite this unusual aspect they are within an ideal microclimate in a small valley which holds the heat particularly well. The soil is stony and rich in minerals, perfect for growing fruity, lively Sangiovese.“A ripe, fruity red, with black currant, damson and hints of coconut and chocolate. Very powerful, with a silky medium body and a fruity, chocolate-coated finish' (Wine Spectator: Score-90)

Tasting Notes: Fruity, crisp and fresh, this Tuscan red offers straight forward, accessible flavors and aromas for daily enjoyment. It crosses between old world and new; fruity yet with the leaner structure typical of Italian wines. Santa Cristina is crafted from a range of vineyards across the Tuscan hills, yielding a wine of ruby red color with an intense bouquet of cherry/berry fruits. Well structured and harmonious on the palate, with soft, sweet tannins.

"Predominantly Sangiovese with small percentage of noble French varietals. Deep and intense mauve red color. Gentle aromas of vanilla, tobacco and coffee, with hints of cherry jam and prunes. Harmonious with soft, well-balanced tannins. Persistent finish and a great potential for aging. Perfect with red meats, wild game and aged cheeses."
