Santa Croce is one of the earliest Super Tuscans ever created, and it is only bottled when everything aligns perfectly. Over the last twenty years, it has been made twice. The previous vintage was 2009. The next one after that is this wine. 2016. The wine comes from Castello di Castellina Villa Toscana, an estate run with fierce independence and total commitment to traditional winemaking. All fruit is estate grown. All fermentations are spontaneous with native yeast. Aging takes place entirely in large oak casks. No shortcuts. No makeup. No compromise. Originally a pure Sangiovese, Santa Croce evolved decades ago into a 50 percent Sangiovese and 50 percent Cabernet Sauvignon blend. It is not meant to express a grape. It is meant to express the estate at its most profound. The 2016 vintage in Tuscany is one of the greatest ever recorded. After extended aging due to extraordinary circumstances at the estate, the wines were evaluated barrel by barrel. Only then was the decision made to bottle Santa Croce. What emerged was something extraordinary. In the glass, the wine is shockingly fresh for its age. Dark fruit, savory herbs, mineral depth, and a seamless, layered texture that feels both powerful and weightless. It drinks with the energy of a barrel sample and the authority of a fully realized wine. It is not flashy. It is profound. The wine earned 97 points, and the praise focused on its purity, balance, and sense of place. This is a wine built for the long haul. At ten years old, it is still a pup. Over the next twenty years, it will be one of the most compelling wines in any serious cellar. We were able to secure 120 bottles. That is it. At $79.98, this is a ridiculous opportunity for a wine of this stature, rarity, and history. If you care about Tuscany, about Super Tuscans, or about wines that simply do not come around very often, this is non-negotiable.
