Citra Terre di Chieti Sangiovese 2016 1.5 L

Citra came into being in 1973 when 7,000 small growers scattered throughout the Abruzzi, opted to band together to form a single wine cooperative. They all shared the desire to win recognition they felt the wines of their region deserved, and they dedicated themselves to accomplishing this goal.\n\nAs part of their commitment the growers delved built an impressively modern winery near the town of Ortona. Attracted to its first-rate facilities and the democratic goodwill on which Citra was founded, other local growers were swift to join. The fortitude, resourcefulness and conviction of the growers who form Citra continue to make this Abruzzi cooperative a model of its kind.\n\nToday, as the Abruzzi region?s most important wine producer, Citra has earned an international reputation for, well-made, affordably priced wines. Citra has drawn praise from of some of America?s most discerning wine pundits, including Wine Spectator who named Citra one of the 20 ?World?s Finest Value Brands?deliv
