Zaccagnini, is located in the sere, mountainous region of Abruzzo. about While Abruzzo doesn’t attract Hollywood celebrities fleeing the spotlight or even many average tourists⎯it has one claim to fame: Marcello Zaccagnini and his winemaker, Concezio Marulli, who are eliciting nectar from its rough hills.
Marcello grew up as a farmer working in the vineyards owned by his father, growing grapes to sell to local winemakers. In 1977, barely into his twenties, Marcello determined that if no one would buy their grapes, he would work with his father to make the wine themselves.
By 1984, Marcello and his parents⎯with the help of Concezio and a handful of employees⎯had slowly expanded to producing about 40,000 bottles a year. From the beginning, Marcello said that he didn’t want to settle for just making the table wine that had been typical of the area. He believed that their land and the surrounding terroir could produce great wines if handled properly and Concezio passionately agreed. Luckily for their future, so did Gino Razzi, an American wine importer and Abruzzo native who introduced their wines to America.
Intense violet robe. Aromas of plum and ripe blackberry. Each sip delivers a mouthful of ripe berries, leather and black pepper with subtle hints of oregano, dried herbs and a touch of vanilla; all leading to a dry and supple finish.
