2020 Antinori Santa Cristina Toscana Rosso
#35-2023
The House of Antinori has been making wine in Italy since 1385, and produces some of the best, and most expensive wines from the country, known for both its history and its wine. Some years back. Antinori introduced the Santa Cristina label, which showcases wines in the value price category. The ones which I have sampled in the past have been among the best in that category.
The wine is dark red in color with a nose full of cherries and dark berries.. The flavor is both subtle and complex, with generous helpings of blackberry, black cherries, and a hint of strawberry. The finish is mellow and smooth, with a modest amount of tannin toward the end. The alcohol content is 12.5%, and Norm's score is 89.
This wine is an excellent choice for weekday pasta, or weekend steak. It would also be a great companion for Cioppino.
score: 89
price : $12 - $16
