NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Citra Merlot Terre di Chieti is a full-bodied and complex red wine with a deep ruby color.On the nose, aromas of ripe red fruit, leather, spice, and tobacco mingle with a hint of earthiness. On the palate, the wine is bright and juicy, with flavors of black cherry, blackberry, and currant, as well as subtle notes of herbs, pepper, and licorice. The tannins are firm, but well-integrated, and the finish is long and lingering. A truly exquisite expression of Abruzzo’s native terroir.
