Description

The Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC by Zaccagnini, presented in a convenient 3-liter Bag in Box, represents an excellent choice for wine lovers who seek quality and convenience. This red wine is produced in the Abruzzo region, an area notoriously fertile for viticulture thanks to its ideal climate and rich soils.

Characterized by an intense ruby red color, the Montepulciano d'Abruzzo by Zaccagnini offers a bouquet rich in aromas of ripe fruits, such as blackberries and plums, with slight spicy and vanilla notes derived from its maturation in wood. On the palate, the wine reveals itself as structured and well-balanced, with a pleasant persistence of fruity flavors and a slightly tannic aftertaste that enhances its robustness.

Ideal to serve with red meat dishes, game, and aged cheeses, this Montepulciano d'Abruzzo is also perfect for accompanying convivial evenings or special events, thanks to its Bag in Box presentation that ensures freshness and ease of service.

The Zaccagnini winery, renowned for its attention to quality and sustainability, reaffirms with this product its commitment to producing wines that authentically reflect the territory of origin, offering a complete and satisfying sensory experience. Additionally, the 3-liter format is a practical solution that limits the wine's contact with air, maintaining its aromatic and gustative integrity for longer.

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.
