Wine Review
The Story
Citra Vini, founded in 1973, unites eight growers' associations across the province of Chieti, the heart of Abruzzo's wine production. With vineyards situated between the Adriatic Sea and the Majella Mountains, Citra works with small vine growers who respect the land and tradition, ensuring that every bottle reflects the region's unique qualities. This Pinot Grigio Trebbiano blend (51% Pinot Grigio, 49% Trebbiano) represents a new addition to the winery's range. It is crafted to highlight balance and smoothness, combining the crisp freshness of Pinot Grigio with the approachable softness of Trebbiano. The result is a versatile white wine that is both refreshing and well-structured.
As the largest winery in Abruzzo and a benchmark for the region, Citra focuses on selecting and enhancing the best grapes from Chieti's vineyards. The Pinot Grigio Trebbiano stands as an example of this mission: a wine that respects local tradition while offering a contemporary expression suited for a wide range of consumers and markets.
