Vinification is traditional, with fermentation on skins followed by maturation in large Slavonian oak for several months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt opens with dark cherry, plum and blackberry, followed by violet, sweet spice and a faint earthy undertone. The fruit is ripe and generous, immediately open and expressive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the palate it is medium to full-bodied with soft, well-integrated tannins and a rounded texture. There is a juicy core of dark fruit supported by moderate acidity, giving it shape without harshness. A touch of oak shows gently in the background, adding subtle spice rather than structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe finish is smooth and fruit-driven, leaning into sweet cherry and soft spice rather than tension or austerity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA classic, easy-drinking Montepulciano that prioritises approachability and fruit clarity, staying true to Zaccagnini’s widely accessible house style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"appellance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50341095702721,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0843\/3428\/0897\/files\/Zaccagnini_Montepulciano_d_Abruzzo_Tralcetto_2023.webp?v=1781703922","url":"https:\/\/appellance.com\/products\/zaccagnini-montepulciano-d-abruzzo-tralcetto-doc-2023","provider":"Appellance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
