The Citra-Ortense Primitivo Terre D’Abruzzo 2.25L is a wonderfully approachable and generous red wine from the heart of Italy. Offering exceptional value, it delivers a smooth, fruit-forward experience that is perfect for everyday enjoyment and sharing with friends.
Citra Vini, founded in 1973, is one of Abruzzo’s most significant cooperative wineries, uniting thousands of local grape growers. The producer is renowned for blending traditional winemaking values with modern techniques to craft authentic expressions of the region. This commitment has positioned Citra as a leading source for reliable and characterful Italian wines that offer outstanding quality for their price.
In the glass, the wine displays a deep, inviting ruby-red color with violet reflections. The nose is filled with expressive aromas of ripe dark cherry, blackberry, and a subtle hint of spice. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and smooth with soft tannins, showcasing juicy plum and berry flavors that lead to a pleasant, easy-drinking finish.
For the best experience, serve this Primitivo slightly chilled, between 16-18°C (60-65°F). It pairs beautifully with a wide range of dishes, including classic pasta with meat sauce, pizza, grilled sausages, and firm cheeses.
