Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo DOC - Tralcetto - Zaccagnini 2024

The Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo DOC "Tralcetto" by Zaccagnini is a rosé wine that immediately catches the eye with its bright and lively color. This wine stands out for its fresh and fruity aromatic profile, featuring notes of cherry, raspberry, and a light nuance of roses, highlighting the typical characteristics of the Montepulciano grape variety from which it is produced.

In the glass, Tralcetto displays a beautiful cerasuolo pink hue, achieved through brief skin contact with the must, a technique that extracts color and aromas while maintaining a light structure. On the palate, the wine has a pleasantly fresh entry, followed by good acidity that supports a balanced structure. This Cerasuolo is notable for its clean taste, where the fruit evolves in perfect harmony with a light mineral component that extends its persistence.

Ideally served chilled, Tralcetto pairs wonderfully with light appetizers, fish dishes, or as an aperitif. It is also surprisingly versatile, capable of accompanying medium-bodied dishes, including those from the Abruzzese cuisine such as arrosticini.

From a winemaking perspective, Zaccagnini follows careful practices to preserve the varietal and territorial characteristics of Montepulciano, using techniques that enhance the wine's freshness and accessibility from a young age.

In short, this Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo DOC "Tralcetto" by Zaccagnini represents an excellent example of how elegance and accessibility can coexist in a rosé, offering an extremely pleasant and versatile drink.
