Santa Barbara

Stefano Antonucci had always been intrigued by the world of wine and deeply connected to his territory. From this foundation, he began the transformation of his family’s small cooperative winery into the Santa Barbara Winery of today, a reference point for exceptional quality in Marche. “This was where I had learned to love the land, to know and respect its secrets, its rhythms, and its products. So, I set forth on this ambitious undertaking, under my father’s watchful, curious (and slightly worried) eye,” explains Stefano.

Since its beginning, Santa Barbara has always had two principal objectives: to reintroduce the Marche region’s indigenous grape varieties (Verdicchio del Castelli di Jesi, Montepulciano and Lacrima di Morro d’Alba), and to craft wines of great personality.
