The Accessible Side of the Tuscan Wine Tradition
Santa Cristina has been associated with the Antinori family for decades. The 2020 Toscana IGT showcases an approachable side of Tuscany, with Sangiovese as its main component and a style that is particularly inviting for sharing at the table.
The Story of the Vintage
Santa Cristina was introduced by the Antinori family in 1946. The 2020 vintage continues that long history of approachable Tuscan wine. It was the year in which the COVID-19 pandemic changed daily life around the world; for a bottle from that year, that historical context may evoke a personal memory.
Character and Style
Cherries and other red fruits give the wine its immediate appeal. Subtle spices and smooth tannins round out the profile. Its freshness keeps the flavor lively, allowing the wine to show character without being heavy.
At the table and in the glass
This is a wine for an ordinary evening that could use a touch of something special. Think pizza, pasta with tomato sauce, or grilled vegetables. Serve it slightly chilled and let the wine show off its fruity side. If you’d like to discover a more distinctive Sangiovese afterward, check out Pèppoli Chianti Classico from the same winery.
