The winery
Cantina Zaccagnini
AbruzzoItaliaSince 1978
An Abruzzo-based winery focused on indigenous varieties (particularly Montepulciano), known for the "Tralcetto" range with the distinctive vine twig attached to the bottles and for the integration of wine and art.
- Grape varieties
- Montepulciano, Pecorino, Trebbiano, Pinot Grigio, Passerina, Cabernet Franc
- Iconic "Tralcetto" line with a vine sprig affixed to the bottle.
- Strong focus on Montepulciano d'Abruzzo and other native grape varieties.
- Managing approximately 300 hectares of vineyards in the hills of Pescara.
- Integration with the Argea Group
- Exhibition space and art collection at the winery, cultural activities initiated in the 1980s.
The story
The winery was established as a family-run business in Bolognano and over time has developed a strong territorial identity centered on native Abruzzo grape varieties and the emblematic "Tralcetto". The company website and promotional materials state that the modern history of the estate begins in 1978; documents from the Argea group cite an alternative date, so public sources disagree on the exact year of foundation. In 2023 Cantina Zaccagnini joined the Argea group; the estate is also known for having transformed its cellar spaces into a venue for art since the 1980s.
Production philosophy
Highlighting the Abruzzo region and its native grape varieties with an approach that blends tradition and modern techniques, the brand also conveys a strong artistic sensibility, presenting visual culture as an integral part of the wine experience.
Terroir and vineyards
The vineyards are located on the hills of Pescara in Abruzzo, in a territory that ranges from the Apennine Mountains to the Adriatic coast. The estate reports vineyards distributed across the Colli Pescaresi with microclimatic conditions moderated by mountain breezes.
