Description

Dry, Herbal, Pineapple

Also known as the “green lung of Europe, Abruzzo offers evocative nature trails that pass through ancient villages with distinct historical and artistic value, never ceasing to surprise visitors. Here, among the picturesque hills of Bolognano, ruled by wise hands and the slowness of time, lies the Zaccagnini Winery. Our winery was created to tell the story, local traditions and artistic testimonies of an Abruzzo with millennial charm, to be preserved and respected. Since Marcello Zaccagnini founded the estate in 1978, each bottle remains tied with a dried vine cutting, a signature touch that speaks to its Abruzzese roots.

Medium-textured clay soil in the area of Chieti. Marquee and espalier training system. Pinot Grigio. The wines of the “Tralcetto” line are represented by the typical vine sprig on the neck of the bottle and symbolize the deepest roots on which the bond between wine and territory is based. These tralcettos are harvested after annual pruning in the vineyards of our beautiful region and affixed by hand to each bottle with an ancient, artisanal gesture that brings a touch of magic to tables around the world. Harvest by the first half of August.
