A tropical fruit bouquet and extremely pleasant aromas are on the nose, leading to a fresh, well-balanced wine. It possesses great minerality, a generous mouthfeel and a crisp, refreshing finish.-Winemaker Notes

Established in the early 1970s in Bolognano, located in the heart of Abruzzo at the base of Gran Sasso the highest mountain in the Apienne range, Marcello Zaccagninis philosophy has always been tied to the land. The estates vineyards are organically farmed, but not certified, as they occasionally have to purchase fruit from other growers due to weather conditions and/or increased demand, and cannot guarantee that those grapes are farmed organically.
Their slogan, Wine, art of man, comes from their work with the world renowned naturalist artist, Josef Beuys - an early proponent of sustainability - and his work on Defense of Nature. The tralcetto (stick) is an actual grapevine cutting from the vineyards that is cut and tied by hand onto each bottle, representing the connection between the wine and the land. Zaccagninis mission is to invest in and promote the culture of the people, environment and wine-making processes that represent the values of Abruzzo, as well as making the winery a cultural hub for artists, musicians, scholars and wine enthusiasts. Marcello has accumulated a world class art and sculpture collection that is on public display in the winery, as well as in the vineyards, and supports many art festivals throughout the year.-Winery Notes
