From the Antinori family's vineyards in the Cortona hills comes this beautifully salmon-coloured rosé, Il Giardino, a summery cuvée from Tuscany.
Expert's Description
Santa Cristina Il Giardino Toscana Rosé is a Rosé Wine from Tuscany, Italy made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Sangiovese and Syrah.
The wine comes from the Antinori family's estate in the Cortona hills in southern Tuscany, where a warm, dry climate and limestone soil give the grapes good ripeness. Il Giardino means 'the garden', and the name alludes to the wine's bright, floral character.
