CANTINA DI CORTONA Loc. Case Sparse Centoia 52/A 52044 CORTONA AR
Vin Santo della Valdichiana DOC is a precious wine that belongs to the Tuscan tradition. Always a companion for festivities, great occasions and conviviality, it is the result of a long process that involves drying the grapes, Malvasia and Trebbiano Toscano. Harvesting takes place directly in the drying trays to optimally preserve the integrity of the bunches. The actual drying process then lasts a few months, to concentrate the sugar in the grapes and thus obtain a scarce but very sweet must. This was then transferred into oak barrels where alcoholic fermentation took place, which ended spontaneously when the wine reached 12.5 degrees alcohol, preserving a natural residual sugar content. Finally, after an ageing period of several years, the wine is bottled and is ready to go on the market. Vin Santo Santa Cristina presents itself in the glass in an intense yellow colour with amber highlights. On the nose, traditional pastry aromas stand out with notes of sultanas, apricots, candied fruit and hints of macaroons. The palate is full-bodied and soft, with a distinct hint of apricots in syrup. Pleasant and balanced finish. Perfect with desserts and blue cheeses.
'On a high hill in Tuscany, not far from Siena and Perugia, stands the ancient town of Cortona'. It is with these words that the Santa Cristina winery's website introduces its extraordinary location. The winery owes its name to the red wine Santa Cristina, the historic symbol of the company. Founded in 2006, over time the company - part of the Antinori group - has become a point of reference for wine experts. And not only. Thanks to the care always put into every process in the field and, of course, the excellent work in the cellar, both with native and international varieties. This gives rise to good local wines, characterised by the same artisanal style. Designed by the Hydea studio of Florence, Santa Cristina has a modern architectural structure, conceived according to criteria of minimal environmental impact while respecting the surrounding area.
