Zaccagnini Capsico Rosso 2018

Zaccagnini Capsico Rosso 2018 is a characterful red from Abruzzo, offering an approachable yet distinctly regional expression of Italy’s Adriatic side. Produced by Zaccagnini Ciccio, it reflects the winery’s focus on wines with personality, balance, and everyday drinkability while still carrying the charm of a traditional Italian red.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a deep red hue with youthful brightness. The nose is typically inviting and fruit-forward, with notes of ripe red berries, cherry, and a hint of spice, while the palate is smooth and medium-bodied with soft tannins and a lively, easygoing finish. Its style suggests a wine best enjoyed for its freshness and immediate appeal rather than long cellaring, though a short period of aging may help soften the structure and round out the fruit further.

Production
Sourced from red grapes grown in Abruzzo, this wine benefits from the region’s mix of mountain influence and coastal airflow, which helps preserve freshness in the fruit. Harvesting is generally carried out when the grapes reach full ripeness, followed by vinification aimed at extracting color and flavor while maintaining a supple, approachable style.

Food & Serving
A versatile red that works well with pizza, pasta with tomato-based sauces, grilled meats, cured meats, and semi-aged cheeses. Serve slightly cool, around 16-18°C, and decanting is optional but can help open the wine if served soon after opening.

Producer
Zaccagnini Ciccio is associated with one of Abruzzo’s better-known wine families, and the Zaccagnini name has become closely linked with quality regional wines that balance tradition and accessibility. The producer is widely recognized for bringing Abruzzo wines to a broader audience through distinctive bottlings and consistent, food-friendly styles.
