AboutCantina Zaccagnini
Marcello Zaccagnini founded his winery in Bolognano in 1978, in the hills below Abruzzo’s Maiella massif. Montepulciano d’Abruzzo and other regional grapes remain at the centre of the wines.
The winery has worked with artists and cultural projects since 1984. The small vine cutting tied to its Tralcetto bottles is a simple reminder of where the wine begins.

Italian Red
Intense ruby colour shows violet nuances. Ripe red berries and white pepper accompany a persistent palate with soft, harmonious tannins. Made from Montepulciano in Abruzzo, the wine carries thirteen percent alcohol. The grapes are destemmed and crushed, then macerated under a submerged cap. Temperature-controlled fermentation lasts about fifteen days, followed by ageing in steel on the lees.
