The Azienda Agricola Ciccio Zaccagnini was founded in 1978 under the name Fattoria Zaccagnini in the village of Bolognano. Back then, only one thousand bottles of wine per year was the average production. A growing reputation led to the need for expansion, and in 1984 the winery moved their operations to Contrada Pozzo in the centre of the Zaccagnini estates.
Annual production is now 500,000 bottles. Marcello Zaccagnini, the dynamic director of the operation, together with his father Ciccio, have been protagonists in renovating wine making in Abruzzo. Vines cultivated by Marcello include montepulciano and trebbiano, all classic D.O.C. wines.
This dry, red wine made from the Montepulciano wine grape in the Abruzzo region of east-central Italy is noted for its deep reddish-purple hues and subtle nose with clear aromas of coffee and dark chocolate. The wine smells like Tiramisu in a glass. They are wines of medium body with silky tannins and a pleasant mouth feel and a subtle finish, very fresh, and fruity.
