Description
On a high hill in Tuscany, not far from Siena and Perugia, stands the ancient town of Cortona. On one side, the spacious plain, on the other, the hill and the village. This is the view you can enjoy from the Santa Cristina winery, founded in 2006 to confirm and renew the tradition of its namesake wine more than 60 years after the first vintage. Over time, Santa Cristina has become a reference point for field experts, not only thanks to a constant commitment to quality.

The care and attention always given to the vineyards and in the cellar have been the stimulus for constant innovation and to deal with native and international varietals, giving rise to a family of different products but distinguished by the same style, the result of an unbreakable bond between the vineyard, terroir, and human labor.
The products of the family Santa Cristina were born from this simple philosophy, thanks to an ongoing dialogue with the earth. Since 1946 continues this dedication, to keep still pristine quality of Santa Cristina. Read more
