Pasion di Cittanina is a wine born in the heart of Tuscany, a territory renowned for its winemaking tradition and its ideal climate for cultivating native grape varieties. This red fully expresses the elegance and structure typical of the region, thanks to a careful selection of grapes and a balanced aging in wood. On the nose, it reveals an intense bouquet, with prominent notes of ripe red fruits, spicy hints, and subtle vanilla touches, the result of aging in barriques. On the palate, it is harmonious, with well-integrated tannins and a pleasant persistence that invites new sips.

Ideal to pair with red meats, roasts, and aged cheeses, Pasion is a wine that tells the passion and craftsmanship of Cittanina, enhancing the authentic character of the territory in every glass.
