Zaccagnini Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Chronicon 2023

Zaccagnini Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Chronicon 2023 is a characterful red from one of Abruzzo’s most recognisable producers, offering a vivid, modern expression of Montepulciano. Known for combining easy-drinking appeal with regional authenticity, it reflects the warmth and personality of central Italy while remaining fresh, supple, and food-friendly.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a deep ruby color with youthful purple highlights. The nose is generous and inviting, with aromas of ripe dark cherry, plum, blackberry, and a touch of spice, often supported by subtle floral and earthy nuances. On the palate, it tends to be smooth and medium-bodied, with juicy fruit, soft tannins, and a balanced, approachable finish. The style is made for early enjoyment rather than long cellaring, though it can usually develop nicely over the next few years, gaining a little more roundness and complexity.

Production
Made from Montepulciano grown in Abruzzo, this wine draws on the region’s sunny Mediterranean climate and the natural freshness influenced by the nearby Adriatic and surrounding hills. The grapes are typically harvested at full ripeness to preserve the variety’s plush fruit character, then vinified in a style that emphasizes purity, balance, and drinkability.

Food & Serving
This is a versatile red that works beautifully with pizza, pasta with tomato-based sauces, roasted chicken, grilled sausages, and medium-aged cheeses. Serve it slightly cool, around 16–18°C, and decanting is generally not necessary unless you want to open up the wine a little further after a few years in bottle.

Producer
Zaccagnini is one of Abruzzo’s best-known names, widely admired for helping bring Montepulciano d’Abruzzo to a broader international audience. The estate has built its reputation on expressive, reliable wines that showcase the region’s strengths, and its signature presentation and consistent quality have made it a standout producer in Italian retail and export markets.
