Description

The Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo DOC by Zaccagnini, presented in a convenient 3-liter Bag in Box, offers a tasting experience that combines practicality and quality. This rosé wine, known for its distinctive vibrant cherry pink color, is produced in the Abruzzo region, an area in eastern Italy with centuries of deep-rooted winemaking tradition.

The Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo by Zaccagnini is primarily obtained from Montepulciano grapes, carefully selected from vineyards situated in the rolling hills of Abruzzo, where the temperate climate and clayey soils contribute to the wine's intensity and vigor. The vinification process is meticulously controlled, maintaining low temperatures to preserve the wine's fruity and fresh aroma.

On the nose, the Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo expresses a rich bouquet of red fruits, notes of cherries and raspberries, enhanced by floral nuances leading to a pleasantly persistent fragrance. On the palate, the wine surprises with its perfect balance between acidity and softness, with a slight tannic note that makes it pleasantly lively.

Ideal as an aperitif or paired with light dishes, summer salads, fish, or even white meats, this wine stands out for its versatility and ability to adapt to various gastronomic occasions. The Bag in Box format ensures long preservation of the wine even after opening, maintaining freshness and intact organoleptic characteristics.

For wine lovers seeking a practical solution without compromising on quality, the Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo DOC by Zaccagnini in Bag in Box format is an excellent choice that combines Italian winemaking tradition with contemporary packaging innovation.

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.
