ABOUT THIS WINE:
Citra
Trebbiano
The grapes for this Italian Trebbiano come from historic family-owned vineyards and properties, covering a vast network of land along the Adriatic coast. These plots also extend east and west, stretching from the coastline to the Majella mountain range in central Italy. The owners of these properties are dedicated to quality wine with a focus on indigenous grape varieties. Respected enologist Riccardo Cotarella oversees the production from vineyard to bottle. These Trebbiano grapes were hand-harvested, then crushed and fermented at cool temperatures to preserve maximum freshness and fruit. Expect to find welcome crisp flavors and refreshing fruit characteristics.

WINE REGION:
Terre di Chieti IGP
A small appellation within central Italy’s Abruzzo region, Terre di Chieti is nestled in the foothills and is home to both red and white varietals. Thanks to influences from the nearby Adriatic Sea, the region experiences a traditional Mediterranean climate. Unlike many of its counterparts throughout the country, wines from Terre di Chieti are not subject to the governance of DOC or DOCG restrictions—rather, they are subject to the IGT/IGP classification, which is simply a focus on geography. Because of this, winemakers have extreme flexibility in how they go about producing their wines. The IGP (Indicazione Geografica Protetta) classification within Italy's winegrowing and winemaking world specifically links the place or region where the fruit was grown to the quality of the finished product. It is the broadest of the classifications within the country's system.
