Description
What kind of wine it is
Capsico Rosso by Zaccagnini is a still red wine that precisely captures the essence of the Colline Pescaresi. Made from a careful selection of Red Grapes, it presents in the glass with a deep, intense ruby red colour and garnet highlights. The bouquet reveals marked complexity, opening with clear aromas of black berry fruits. On the palate, it stands out for its vigorous structure, excellently balanced by long, fine-grained tannins.
Where it comes from
This red is born on the hills of Bolognano, in the heart of Abruzzo, in a region that imparts great character to the grapes. The vines are cultivated using pergola and espalier systems rooted in medium-textured clay soils. The specific geological features and the hillside microclimate favour optimal ripening; the interaction of these natural elements gives the wine a pronounced gustatory concentration and a clear aromatic identity.
How it is produced
The cellar process involves alcoholic fermentation followed by malolactic fermentation, essential for softening and harmonising the palate. The wine is then aged in wooden barrels until bottling, acquiring a sophisticated spicy note of black pepper, cinnamon and vanilla, accompanied by clear mineral hints of graphite. At the table, it enhances intense flavours, proving to be the ideal pairing for tasty pork dishes and mature cheeses.
