Description

The Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC Chronicon Line from the Zaccagnini winery represents a perfect expression of the Abruzzo territory, known for its ability to produce red wines with strong personality and great appeal. This wine is famous for its robust structure, well-balanced tannins, and a gustative persistence that captivates from the first sip.

The color is a deep ruby red, with reflections that tend toward violet with aging. On the nose, it opens with intense notes of wild berries and spices, among which blackberry and black pepper stand out. These are complemented by elegant hints of wood and vanilla, deriving from barrel aging, further enriching the olfactory bouquet.

On the palate, the Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Chronicon Line is characterized by a powerful yet harmonious entry, with a perfect balance between acidity and tannins. The aromatic palette is complex and seductive, with resonances of ripe fruit and a slight aftertaste of dark chocolate that invites another sip.

Served at a temperature of 18°C, this wine pairs magnificently with rich and flavorful dishes, such as red meat, game-based dishes, and aged cheeses. It is also an excellent companion for convivial evenings or special moments, thanks to its ability to evolve and improve over time.

The Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC Chronicon from Zaccagnini is more than a wine; it is a true declaration of love toward the land of Abruzzo and its winemaking tradition, appreciated by both connoisseurs and newcomers to the world of wine.

Winery history

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.
