What do you do? Thinking about Tuscany and not thinking about Vermentino? Heaven forbid! This historic and traditional Tuscan variety, but not only, is enhanced by Santa Cristina's experience, becoming a pleasant wine with a fresh, mineral flavour. Toscana IGT, the harvest of grapes that have reached perfect ripeness takes place between the second and third week of September. Once in the cellar, the grapes are destemmed, crushed and softly pressed. The must thus obtained is cooled to favour its natural clarification. This is followed by fermentation in steel tanks and subsequent ageing, again in steel, until bottling, which usually takes place at the beginning of the following spring. In the Santa Cristina Vermentino glass it has a typical straw-yellow colour. On the nose, intense floral notes of jasmine stand out, well in harmony with sensations of banana and melon. In the mouth, however, it is balanced, 'savoury' (as it is defined by its producers), with good freshness and, indeed, a distinct minerality. From the aperitif onwards, it is always the right time to uncork this Vermentino. It is always worth keeping a couple of bottles in the fridge. For a fish dinner, a snack with friends or an after dinner drink while planning your next holiday... in Tuscany!
'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 website of the Santa Cristina winery 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.
