Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Riserva 'Tralcetto' Zaccagnini 2021
Der 'Tralcetto' von Zaccagnini ist ein Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Riserva, der ausschließlich in Edelstahl vinifiziert und dann lange in der Flasche gereift ist. Tief und anhaltend, zeichnet er sich durch die starken fruchtigen Aromen aus, die er entfaltet, insbesondere von roten Früchten, kombiniert mit würzigeren Noten von Pfeffer und Vanille sowie einem letzten Hauch von Leder und Tabak. Er passt perfekt zu kräftigen und würzigen Gerichten, wie Wildgerichten.
The Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Riserva 'Tralcetto' is a label with a full and enveloping taste produced by the renowned wine company Zaccagnini. This Montepulciano belongs to the 'Tralcetto' line, a range of wines presented with very peculiar packaging, characterized by a small piece of vine shoot tied around the neck of the bottle. These shoots come from the pruning of the same Montepulciano vines and are tied by hand by the women of Bolognano, the municipality where the estate is located. The 'Tralcetto' has become the symbol of Zaccagnini in the world, which with the new entry represented by the Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Riserva aims to further focus on this line that has made the brand known in the most important international markets.

Once the fermentation process is completed, the wine is aged for about a year in small oak barrels, followed by at least another year of refinement in the bottle before its final commercialization.
