The care and attention always oriented to follow up the winemaking were also fundametal to search for a continue innovation and dealing with indigenous and international varieties, giving rise to a family of different products but bears the same style, the result of a indissoluble link between the vineyard, terroir and man’s work.
The products of the family Santa Cristina were born from this simple philosophy, thanks to a continuous bond with the land. Since 1946, continues this dedication, to still preserve the quality of Santa Cristina.
