Cantina Zaccagnini

Cantina Zaccagnini is a winery based in Abruzzo, in central Italy's Adriatic region. The producer specializes in wines from Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC, one of the region's principal appellations, focusing on the indigenous Montepulciano grape variety that defines the area's winemaking tradition.

Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC represents the heartland of Abruzzo's red wine production. Wines from this appellation are typically medium-bodied reds with moderate alcohol levels and acidity, displaying characteristics of dark berry fruit, dried herbs, and earth. The region's continental climate and limestone-rich soils produce wines with good structure and aging potential, ranging from approachable young versions to more concentrated, age-worthy expressions.

Cantina Zaccagnini's current portfolio focuses on Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, working directly with the region's flagship variety. The 2021 vintage demonstrates the producer's commitment to the appellation's core expression, offering insight into the vintage's balance and fruit character in this traditional Abruzzo wine style.
