2024 Castello di Volpaia "Citto" Toscana IGT, Tuscany, Italy
ABOUT THE WINE
Produced in the heart of Tuscany, “Citto” is crafted primarily from Sangiovese, often complemented by small amounts of Merlot depending on the vintage. The 2024 release showcases lively notes of sour cherry, raspberry, and subtle earth, balanced by refreshing acidity that makes it both versatile and food-friendly.
The grapes are sourced from organically farmed vineyards surrounding the medieval village of Volpaia in Chianti Classico. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel to preserve freshness and aromatic purity, followed by aging in large oak casks and/or concrete tanks to enhance structure while maintaining vibrant fruit character.
Designed as an accessible introduction to the estate’s philosophy, “Citto” pairs beautifully with pasta in tomato-based sauces, grilled sausages, roasted vegetables, and classic pizza. Its brightness and balance make it ideal for everyday enjoyment.
