Winery
Santa Cristina winery was established in 2006 and since then it confirms and renews the tradition of the wine having its name, more than 70 years from the first vintage. In the course of time, Santa Cristina has become a reference point for wine experts, and not only, thanks to a constant commitment to quality. Just like a good story, it is a timeless Tuscan classic with a contemporary taste. The care always put in following the vineyards and the work in the cellar has been the stimulus for continuous innovations and for confronting with autochthonous and international varieties, giving life to different wines but distinguished by the same artisanal style, result of an indissoluble bond between vineyard, terroir and man's work.
Cantina di Santa Cristina, designed by Hydea Studio of Florence, presents a modern architectural structure conceived according to criteria of minimum environmental impact in respect of the surrounding territory. The winery owes its name to the red wine Santa Cristina, historical wine that for over 70 years is the symbol of the company. The structure is conceived in order to accompany the grapes from the vineyard to the single steps of fermentation, refinement and bottling, up to packaging; advanced technology, together with a careful and continuous research for quality, strengthen and fortify the ancient tradition and the love for their land.
Description
Campogrande is produced in the Santa Cristina estate, in the historical town of Cortona which, on the top of a hill, enjoys a very respectful view and territory. On the top stands the new Santa Cristina winery, established in 2006 in order to renew the viticultural tradition of the region, 60 years after the release of the first vintage.
Organoleptic characteristics:
Straw yellow color with light greenish reflections, releases to the nose intense and elegant fruity aromas reminiscent of apple, pear, apricot, peach, gooseberry and delicate sensations of orange blossom. The palate is pleasingly smooth, round, balanced, consistent with the nose and supported by a good acid and sapid streak which leads the drink to a clean and thirst quenching closure. Refined also in the aftertaste, it brings us back to the notes of fresh fruit.
Storage time:
More than 5 years
Vinification
Grapes were destemmed and pressed in a very soft way. The obtained must was cooled down to a temperature of 10° C, in order to favor the natural clarification, and subsequently transferred in stainless steel tanks, where the alcoholic fermentation took place at a temperature not higher than 18° C.
