Rosso Colline Pescaresi IGT - Capsico Rosso - Zaccagnini 2018

The Rosso Colline Pescaresi IGT, known under the Capsico Rosso label by Zaccagnini, is a wine that embodies the essence of the Abruzzo region, where the mountainous terrain and Mediterranean climate impart unique characteristics to the grapes. This wine is primarily produced from the Montepulciano variety, renowned for its robustness and depth of flavor.

The vintage showcases an intense ruby red color with violet reflections. On the nose, the Capsico Rosso stands out with its complex aromas of ripe red fruits, such as cherries and plums, enriched by spicy nuances and light notes of tobacco and leather, resulting from careful aging in wooden barrels.

On the palate, it offers a solid yet balanced structure, with velvety tannins and a pleasant freshness. The same fruits noted on the nose are also found in the taste, integrated with a discreet acidity that invites another sip. The tasting experience concludes with a remarkable persistence that leaves a pleasantly spicy aftertaste.

The vinification of Capsico Rosso follows traditional methodologies, with controlled fermentation followed by an aging period that integrates the organoleptic qualities of the grapes without overpowering them. This wine pairs beautifully with robust dishes such as roasted red meats, game-based dishes, and aged cheeses, but can be equally appreciated on its own, for contemplation.

The Rosso Colline Pescaresi IGT by Zaccagnini represents an excellent choice for lovers of robust and complex wines, offering a refinement that honors its Abruzzese origin.
