The small vine wood on the neck of the bottle is more than just a nice gesture – it is the trademark of Zaccagnini and symbolises a philosophy: nothing from the vineyard is wasted, even the pruning finds its place. Since 1978, the Zaccagnini family has been working in Bolognano, deep in the mountainous hinterland of the province of Pescara, where the vineyards lie like an amphitheatre, protected by snow-capped mountains. Here, where fresh winds blow daily through a mountain gorge, the Montepulciano grape thrives in ideal conditions. After gentle manual harvesting and temperature-controlled maceration, the wine matures for six months in Slavonian oak barrels before finding its final harmony in the bottle for a further three months.

Intense ruby red with violet reflections in the glass, the bouquet immediately reveals the primary aromas: sweet and sour cherries, dark berries, a hint of violets. On the palate, it has a full, robust body with a velvety texture, the tannins are well integrated, the fruit is strong and warm. A classic Montepulciano as it should be – honest, accessible, with a remarkable finish. SUPERIORE.DE
