Rosé I.G.T.
|
Area of Production: Terre di Chieti, Abruzzo, Italy
Alcohol: 12.5% Wine Notes: Zaccagnini has added a perfect complement to its extremely successful Montepulciano and Pinot Grigio wines by releasing this beautiful Rose. It is made from a tasty blend of Montepulciano and Sangiovese grapes, harvested from a single vineyard. It has an attractive pink-coral color and possesses bright, fresh white blossom aromas. On the palate it is light bodied with delicate, mouth-watering red berry flavors. Winemaking Technique: The vines are farmed sustainably and hand harvested. The wine is made from a selection of free run juices after the grapes are destemmed, crushed and cold fermented. It sits on the lees for about 3-4 months and then further aged in stainless steel tanks before bottling with a Stelvin closure. The entire fermentation process is carefully managed so the wine can preserve all of its delicate and complex aromas. Estate & Wines: 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 Mountainwhich rises 9,000 ft. The vineyards are located in the cru section called "Colle Morto di Bolognano". Marcello Zaccagnini, the dynamic director of the operation, together with his winemaker, Concezio Marulli, have been protagonists in renovating wine making in Abruzzo. Keeping an eye on tradition, each bottle in this line, wears a small piece of the "Tralcetto", or grape vine, around its neck; they also pay close attention to advancing technologies and modernization. Vines cultivated by Marcello Zaccagnini include Montepulciano and Trebbiano, both classic wines. Recommended Pairings: An extremely versatile wine, it is great as an aperitif and pairs beautifully with all seafood, poultry, creamy, soft cheeses, charcuterie and spicy foods.
