The story behind it

The maker

First introduced by Marquis Niccolò Antinori in 1946, Santa Cristina has long been a benchmark for quality Tuscan winemaking. Today, the historic Antinori family continues to craft these expressive wines from their high-altitude winery and vineyards in Cortona, combining deep-rooted traditions with modern artisanal care.

How it is made

Crafted in the heart of Tuscany, this Chianti Superiore DOCG undergoes meticulous selection of grapes followed by precise temperature-controlled fermentation to preserve its vibrant red fruit profile. The wine is aged carefully in both stainless steel and oak barrels to develop its soft, structured elegance before bottling.
