About the Producer

The “Azienda Agricola Ciccio Zaccagnini” was founded in 1978 and today produces approximately 1,200,000 bottles per year. Under the guidance of its winemaker, Concezio Marulli, the company applies the most up-to-date wine-making technologies and implements a total quality control system throughout the entire production process.

The history of the Zaccagnini vinery is rooted in the passionate relationship between man and nature, wine and arts, celebrated year after year, in November, with “Uvarte”.

Famous artists are invited and dedicate a label to the winery. These labels are part of a collection line.

Vineyard

The 500 acres of the estate of Ciccio Zaccagnini is located in Bolognano, alongside the Rome-Pescara highway, in the province of Pescara. It is situated approximately 30 miles from the coast and about 8 miles from the Maiella Mountain which rises to 2,700 metres a.s.l.

Vinification

Soft grape pressing, submerged-cap maceration with controlled temperature fermentation and first racking when set parameters are reached.

Ageing

Zaccagnini Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Riserva undergoes a meticulous ageing process. After the initial fermentation, the wine is aged in oak barrels for a period of 24 months. This ageing in oak helps to develop the wine’s complex flavours and adds a layer of depth and richness. Following this, the wine is further aged in the bottle for an additional 6 months before it is released to the market.

Tasting Notes

Deep ruby red colour, featuring garnet reflections that intensify with aging, this wine boasts a complex and intensely fruity aroma. Notes of ripe fruit such as plum and cherry blend with hints of tobacco, leather, and a slight touch of vanilla, the result of maturation in barrique. On the palate, it reveals a robust structure, well-balanced by mature tannins and a lively freshness. Its evolution in the mouth is rich and persistent, with an aftertaste reminiscent of sweet spices and dark chocolate.
