About us

PASSION FOR EXCELLENT WINES

Santavinea was founded in 2010 by the passion and love for wine that Mario Poli and Anna Santucci developed over the years. During their travels in Italy they lived intense moments in the wine world making friends with real winemakers, the keepers of the identity and authenticity of wine.
Mario selected from the many small “family run” cellars he got to know during his travels the ones who best represent his idea of “good wine”. The choice was made with the professional help of expert sommeliers, with the declared objective of creating a cellar of D.O.C.G, D.O.C, I.G.T wines representing the “real made in Italy”.

GREAT WINES AND AMBITION

Santavinea offers quality Italian wines with maximum attention to tradition. Our mission is to promote the most authentic wines, produced by our winemakers who respect the balance and cycles of nature. SantaVinea interprets genuinely the production process from vineyard to cellar. Geared mostly towards the international market, SantaVinea has entrusted P.M.G. of Florence with the promotion and marketing of its wines in Asia and America.
With SantaVinea our idea is now concentrated on the promotion of these great wines and the creation of a mutual lasting bond of trust with the winemakers.

Philosophy

TRADITION AND INNOVATION

SantaVinea’s production philosophy is based on the idea that wine must be the most faithful expression of the territory. Every single aspect of its production is characterized by the respect for tradition and a continuous search for improvement, from the vineyard to the cellar. Thanks to the most recent technologies we can transfer untouched into our bottles the whole characteristics of our grapes. The painstaking care given to our vineyards for the production of excellent grapes, the constant and close control given by our oenologists, allow us to offer the “real made in Italy”.
