Santa Cristina Pinot Grigio 2024
Santa Cristina Pinot Grigio originates from Italy, specifically within the delle Venezie DOC region in the northeastern part of the country. The Santa Cristina winery, based in Cortona near Siena, was established in 1946 and has long been a symbol of Tuscan winemaking tradition, though it now sources grapes from other renowned Italian regions for its varietal wines. Owned by the historic Antinori family, the winery follows a philosophy that highlights the deep connection between the vineyard, the terroir, and human craftsmanship, aiming to produce approachable wines that maintain high quality and accessibility.
Wine Description
This white wine displays a bright straw yellow colour and a light body with an elegant presence in the glass. The sensory profile is delicate yet intense, featuring a nose of green apples, citrus fruits, and bananas, alongside floral hints of orange blossoms and white flowers. On the palate, it is well balanced, soft, and savoury, delivering flavours of lemon peel, pineapple, and peach. The finish is clean and graceful, characterized by vibrant acidity and a lingering aftertaste of fresh fruit and subtle mineral undertones.
Varietal Composition: 100% Pinot Grigio (Pinot Gris).
Stylistic Notes: Known for its crispness and fruit driven personality, the wine is shaped by an alpine tempered climate and fertile soils, resulting in a refreshing and easygoing character.
ABV: Typically ranges between 12% and 12.5%.
Organic Status: While the winery utilizes state of the art technology and sustainable research to respect the surrounding territory, this specific wine is generally not certified organic.
