Description
What kind of wine it is
Cerasuolo Chronicon by Zaccagnini is a still rosé that precisely expresses the character of Montepulciano grapes. It displays a cherry-pink colour with bright reflections. On the nose, it offers a bouquet characterised by notes of fresh red fruit, enriched with hints of pomegranate and ginger. On the palate, it shows a pleasant texture, where a lively savouriness and pronounced freshness lead the berry flavours towards a persistent and inviting finish.
Where it comes from
This wine originates in Abruzzo, the chosen land for Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo. The vineyards are cultivated using pergola and espalier training systems, ideal methods to ensure optimal ripening of the grapes. The vines sink their roots into medium-textured clay soils: this specific geological composition gives the wine body and helps maintain a distinct freshness on the palate, perfectly balancing the structure.
How it is produced
The production process is designed to enhance the integrity of the fruit. Vinification takes place in steel tanks, a technical choice that preserves an immediate and clean aromatic profile. Subsequently, the wine undergoes a period of maturation in steel, followed by further rest in the bottle. This careful management of the cellar stages encourages the perfect expression of the flavour profile, keeping the savoury and fruity components intact.
