Zaccagnini Chronicon Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC 2023

Zaccagnini Chronicon is a Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC red wine from the 2023 vintage. It comes from vineyards around the Bolognano winery. After long fermentation on the skins in temperature-controlled steel, it matures for at least 12 months in second- and third-passage barriques, followed by further ageing in bottle. It is intense ruby red with light garnet hues. The nose shows ripe forest fruits, black pepper and coffee. The palate is fleshy, full and long, with a dense, soft tannic texture and a velvety feel. It closes with a very long finish on fruit. It suits rich meat dishes, including stews.
