Descrizione

The Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC No Sulfites Added, produced by the Zaccagnini winery, is an authentic expression of the Abruzzo terroir, with particular attention to the health and well-being of the consumer thanks to the absence of added sulfites. This wine is the result of a careful selection of Montepulciano grapes cultivated in vineyards located in the best areas of the region, where the climate is ideal for the maturation of this varietal.

The color of this Montepulciano is a deep red with violet reflections, symbolizing youth and vigor. The nose reveals intense notes of ripe red fruits, such as cherries and plums, with a subtle background of spices and a slight hint of vanilla, due to a brief passage in wood which enriches the complexity without overwhelming the fruit.

On the palate, the wine is robust yet balanced, with soft, well-integrated tannins that make the drinking experience pleasantly harmonious. The absence of added sulfites allows a better perception of the varietal characteristics and the terroir, ensuring a clean and authentic tasting experience.

Ideal as an accompaniment to robust dishes of Abruzzo cuisine, such as roasted meats, oven-baked lamb, and aged cheeses, the Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC No Sulfites Added by Zaccagnini is also an excellent choice for those seeking a more natural and less processed wine, without compromising on quality and tasting pleasure.

This wine represents an excellent choice for those who appreciate pure and expressive wines, ideal for enjoying on a special dinner occasion or for aging for future events, given its good aging potential.

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.
