SANTA CRISTINA 2023 CABERNET SAUVIGNON

High on a Tuscan hillside, not far from Siena and Perugia, sits the historic Italian town of Cortona (near the central 'top' of the peninsular 'boot' that is Italy). A vast plain extends on one side and on the other, the hill and village. This is the captivating panorama surrounding the Santa Cristina winery, established in 2006 to strengthen and renew the tradition of crafting its eponymous wine, over 70 years after its first vintage. Of course, it's also pretty relevant that Santa Cristina is owned by Marchesi Antinori (who have been crafting wines since 1385 [26 generations!!!] and are considered one of the premiere wineries in all of Italy!).
