Cantina Zaccagnini...



Cantina Zaccagnini Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2007...

don't let the twig hanging on the bottle decieve you, the packaging is interesting but the wine is more than image. The twig is actually a piece of the vine, or a 'tralcetto' and the the wine is, as they say, very approachable. Better said, the wine is delicious, hard to resist and easy to enjoy on its own or with lots of foods.

It's all Montepulciano with deep colors of garnet and purple. The aromas are in Hi-Def; ripe cherry and earth with a little tobacco leaf mixed in. There's a really nice balance of fruit, weight and no pucker tannins that push with a, 'you know it's a red wine' finish.




Cantina Zaccagnini Cerasuolo Rosato 2009...
a pretty pale pink color with an intense bouquet. Sexy, fragrant and well balanced; pleasing with an elegant surface of cranberry and strawberry.



Cantina Zaccagnini Bianco di Ciccio 2009...
this white is mostly Trebbiano d'Abruzzo and some Chardonnay. With cool hues of lemon that reflect waves of green, it throws off sharp perfumed aromas. Delicate flavors of white fruit mixed with a touch of citrus make this a really honest and pleasant drink.



Cantina Zaccagnini Pinot Grigio 2009...
a soft, well styled Pinot Grigio that shows with a pale golden color that introduces subtle aromas of citrus with an almost spice, peach and orange range of flavors. With very easy acidity, this white can be enjoyed with almost every food, all day long.
