The Cantina Zaccagnini Montepulciano d’Abruzzo 2021 is a quintessential expression of this beloved Italian varietal, crafted with the winery’s signature care and marked by the iconic twig tied to each bottle—a symbol of its connection to nature and tradition. Produced in the Abruzzo region, where the Adriatic Sea and Apennine Mountains create ideal conditions for the Montepulciano grape, this wine delivers richness, balance, and authenticity.

The bouquet opens with generous aromas of ripe cherry, blackberry, and plum, layered with hints of violet, leather, and subtle spice. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied, offering juicy red and black fruit flavors harmonized by earthy undertones, cocoa, and a touch of vanilla from oak influence. Smooth tannins and bright acidity provide structure while keeping the wine approachable, leading to a lingering finish with notes of fruit and spice.

Versatile and food-friendly, the Zaccagnini Montepulciano d’Abruzzo pairs beautifully with pizza, pasta with hearty ragù, roasted meats, and aged cheeses. The 2021 vintage continues the estate’s tradition of crafting wines that are both accessible and deeply rooted in Abruzzo’s heritage, making it a reliable choice for everyday enjoyment as well as special gatherings.
