Codice C.

Our history CODICE CITRA Citra Vini, founded in 1973, is the reference point of a geographical area where viticulture is a common practice. The Codice Citra brings together nine associations of winegrowers with proven experience, all located on a territory with extraordinary potential, historical cradle of Montepulciano d'Abruzzo and Trebbiano d'Abruzzo. Chieti is indeed the second Italian province and surely the first in Abruzzo for the grape harvest. More value to the quality of the Abruzzo wine industry Since its foundation, Codice Citra's mission has been represented by the collection of the most important grape varieties of the province of Chieti, whose wine production is selected, controlled and evaluated in order to enhance it in terms of quality. The origin of the name Of Citra A name, a story The strong link with the territory is evident from the name, which the founding members wanted to give in 1973. The word "Citra" is a Latin adverb, the name of one of the two Regions in which Abruzzo was divided in the geographical maps of the Kingdom of Bourbons and the Papal State, dating from the eighteenth century, before the unification of Italy. The name Citra, identifying the area in which the nine associated cooperatives are located, is significant: it expresses the strong link with the territory and refers to the ancient wine-making know-how of the Chieti region. All Citra Code production processes are certified: ISO22000 and ISO9001:2008, in addition to BRC and IFS certifications, fundamental in the perspective of relations with European and international brands.
