Santa Cristina Rosso

An accessible Tuscan red wine from one of Italy's most famous wineries — uncomplicated in the best sense, with genuine character in the glass.

Antinori is one of Italy's oldest wine dynasties: rooted in Florence since 1385, today with estates in Tuscany, Umbria, and beyond. The Santa Cristina Rosso is the classic entry into the Antinori range — a cuvée of five red grape varieties from Tuscany, vinified in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature, with subsequent partial aging in oak barrels.

In the glass, it glows in rich ruby red. The nose shows ripe dark cherries and blackberries, underscored by a light wood tone from the barrel aging. On the palate, medium body, soft tannins, pleasant freshness — a wine without sharp edges that can be drunk immediately. The finish is short to medium-long, fruity-round.
