Red in colour with violet highlights, shows an intense & complex nose of ripe red fruit along with balsamic notes of eucalyptus & mint. Full & supple on the palate, it is a wine of much drinking pleasure with a fruity finish & aftertaste. Vineyard: The grapes for Santa Cristina come from selected vineyards in central Tuscany. The Merlot harvest took place first followed by Syrah & Cabernet, with the first Sangiovese grapes being picked two to three weeks later.
