The hills of Cortona, villages, and small valleys typical of the Tuscan countryside, are what you see when looking out the window of the Santa Cristina winery. The Santa Cristina winery has undoubtedly always enhanced the terroir in which it operates with passion and professionalism. It is precisely from the philosophy of respect between nature, man and passion that their wines are born. Vin Santo di Santa Cristina is made from Trebbiano Toscano and Malvasia grapes, carefully harvested after ripening fully and left to dry in special drying trays. The grapes are then gently pressed and transferred to wooden barrels where alcoholic fermentation takes place. The wine then goes through an ageing period of about three years before being released for consumption. In the glass, the wine presents itself with an intense yellow colour with amber reflections. The nose reveals aromas of candied fruit, apricots, raisins and pastry notes. On the palate, it is soft and full-bodied, with a typical aftertaste reminiscent of dried apricots in syrup, and a freshness that makes the wine very balanced and easy to drink. Perfect with pastries, typical Tuscan desserts and sweet yeasted buns.
