WINE DESCRIPTION
Citra Cabernet Sauvignon Terre di Chieti is a fruit-forward, easy-drinking red wine coming from the Terre di Chieti appellation. This coastal region, located in Abruzzo, enjoys the cooling influence of the Adriatic Sea, which brings freshness and vivacity to the wine. A cool fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats at a controlled temperatures, which helps to preserve the varietal character of Cabernet Sauvignon and create a lightly extracted wine, designed for immediate consumption.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Citra Cabernet Sauvignon Terre di Chieti displays a bright appearance with a moderate ruby color.The nose is straight-forward but inviting and immediately expressive with aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, and hints of bell pepper and mint. On the palate, this wine offers a medium-bodied experience with soft tannins that creates a supple texture. The flavors of black fruits, such as blackberry and blackcurrant are prominent, accompanied by notes of dark chocolate and a touch of capsicum that is present on the finish.
