2022 Antinori Santa Cristina Cabernet Sauvignon Toscana

#49 Top 100 of 2024, Best Values “A balanced, supple version, with a smoky undertone to the black cherry and blackberry fruit. Graphite and rosemary accents join the long finish. Drink now through 2027.” – Bruce Sanderson From the editors at Wine Spectator: “Santa Cristina is a brand owned by Antinori, one of Italy’s oldest and most renowned wine-producing families. Though the brand also produces bottles from appellations in Umbria and Veneto, the majority of the red wines are produced at their Tuscan winery, which was established in Cortona in 2006. Grapes for this particular Cabernet Sauvignon–based wine are primarily sourced from the Maremma, both inland and coastal parcels. By fermenting and aging the Cabernet Sauvignon in stainless steel, Santa Cristina has crafted a fruity, inviting and widely available red that delivers impressive quality. ” Review Date: October 2024
