Citra "Core"
Cabernet Sauvignon
These family owned properties, some with only 1 hectare, create a mosaic of vineyards north to south along the Adriatic coast and east to west from the sea to the Mountains.
Wine Production
Grapes are vinified in fermenting vats at a controlled temperature. The must is frequently pumped over two times per day to intensify the aromatics and the color. The wine is then finished in stainless steel tanks, developing structure, body and fruit notes.
Tasting Notes
Blackcurrant and blackberry fruit aromas of Cabernet Sauvignon are complimented by a ripe and soft finish.
Food Pairing
Full bodied with an earthy note, this wine pairs well with barbecue, grilled meats, roast turkey, and hearty vegetarian fare
