Description
Campogrande is produced on the Santa Cristina estate, in the historic town of Cortona, which sits atop a hill and enjoys a truly respectable view and territory. At the summit stands the new Santa Cristina winery, founded in 2006 to renew the region's winemaking tradition, 60 years after the release of the first vintage. The estate's winemaking tradition is based on attention to detail in a process that culminates in the pursuit of the highest quality in harmony with the territory. The winery was designed by the HYDEA studio of Florence, following criteria of minimal environmental impact while respecting the surrounding area, without sacrificing the modernity and advanced technology of the winemaking facilities.
Campogrande is a Orvieto Classico, whose flavor is very reminiscent of the freshness and pleasantness of the hillside air. It is composed of Grechetto and Procanico grapes harvested starting from the second ten days of September in the balanced soil, predominantly clayey with fluvial-lacustrine deposits, typical of this hilly area. These grapes are harvested separately and taken to the cellar for destemming and crushing, which continues with the cooling of the must to 10°C to promote natural clarification. Primary fermentation takes place in stainless steel at a controlled temperature no higher than 18°C. Before being sold, the resulting wine rests in steel tanks at low temperatures until bottling. Campogrande is the perfect representation of its region, Umbria, which is strongly suited to producing balanced and elegant white wines in taste.

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

| Story | The DOC ORVIETO was recognized in 1971 and in the last forty years has seen incredible growth both quantitative and qualitative: Orvieto is one of the best known Italian white wines in the world and represents alone about three quarters of production of wine DOC Umbria. The DOC area is divided into Orvieto Classico, which represents the area around the rock of tuff on which lies the town of Orvieto and the surrounding area, and Orvieto, which completes the north and south. The geological components of the territory - of volcanic origin - together with the favorable and unique microclimate that distinguishes the valleys of Paglia and lower Tiber, are the basis of oenological fortune which from time immemorial are at one with the city. Not by chance, in fact, Orvieto is one of the few cities in the world whose name coincides with that of its territory wine. |
