Santa Cristina

Antinori is among the most important wine producers in the world. For over six hundred years, the Antinori winery has dedicated itself with passion and intuition to the production of fine wines. The 26 generations of the Marquises Antinori have progressively taken on a prominent role in the history of Italian wine. They owe the valorization of the Sangiovese grape which has become an important protagonist of Italian viticulture. Furthermore, hand in hand with the affirmation of the name Antinori in the international wine scene, the prestige of Tuscan wines has also spread throughout the world. Today the Antinori wineries have extended their production beyond Tuscany and Umbria: the choice of territories suited to wine growing in Italy and also abroad is the prelude to new experiments, with the constant aim of enhancing the territorial heritage. The continuous experimentation has always been accompanied by important successes for the Marquises Antinori. The cellar boasts an offer of some of the most appreciated wines internationally: the Solaia, the Tignanello, the Pian delle Vigne and the refined interpretations of the Chianti Classico and Brunello di Montalcino.

Santa Cristina is a Chianti Superiore produced with Sangiovese grapes, and only minimally with other complementary vines. The different grape varieties ferment with maceration at different times. Most for 10-12 days at a controlled temperature of 30 ° C, to define its complexity, the remaining part for 7.8 days at a maximum of 25 ° C, in order to favor the softest tannins and preserve the fruity notes. Then the aging takes place in steel tanks for 10 months and then in barriques before bottling, a wine with a great personality worthy of the tradition that distinguishes it.
