Saint Barbara

The Santa Barbara winery is deeply linked to the land, tradition and cults where it arose. In the 6th century, in fact, when the current city of Senigallia was under Byzantine rule, a “Lombard” outpost managed to establish itself in the nearby village. That village then took the name of “Barbara” where the company is still based today. The profound respect for the land and the continuous tendency towards innovation are the pillars on which Santa Barbara stands, with the aim of improving the quality standard of the raw material every year. It is in this context of great dynamism, without neglecting tradition, that Stefano Antonucci’s wines come to life in Santa Barbara, assisted by the trusted winemaker Lorenzo Lorenzetti and his team composed of Renzo, Roberto and Daniele. Stefano Antonucci has been defined several times as “a visionary and eclectic winemaker, in the constant search for stylistic completeness” capable of best interpreting the most intimate values ​​of a fascinating territory like that of Ancona. Santa Barbara, or elegant and dynamic wines, modern without being flirtatious, always characterised by a particular finesse.
