Coraje di Cittanina is a wine that embodies the authentic essence of the Tuscan territory, a fresh and vigorous expression of Sangiovese, the region's emblematic grape variety. Originating from the hills of the province of Siena, this red enchants with its balance between structure and finesse, the result of careful aging in steel that preserves intact the varietal characteristics and the mineral sapidity of the soil. On the nose, it offers intense scents of ripe cherry and plum, accompanied by spicy hints and subtle herbaceous notes that evoke the Mediterranean undergrowth. On the palate, Coraje is harmonious and vibrant, with soft tannins and a freshness that invites the next sip. Perfect to accompany traditional Tuscan dishes such as grilled meats or aged cheeses, this wine sincerely tells the warmth and passion of a territory rich in wine-making history.
