Description
What kind of wine it is
Pecorino Tralcetto is a still white wine with a bright straw-yellow colour. Made entirely from Pecorino grapes, it expresses an intense aromatic identity, characterised by notes of fresh citrus and a finish reminiscent of apricot and yellow flowers. On the palate, it is harmonious, supported by a crisp freshness and a pronounced savouriness that prolongs its persistence. Hints of thyme and mint enrich the profile, making it ideal to accompany a prawn risotto, seafood tempura or spicy dishes from oriental cuisine.
Where it comes from
This wine originates from the Pecorino d’Abruzzo area, a region whose winemaking tradition extends across the valleys. The grapes come from Bolognano, where the microclimate encourages the development of bunches rich in aroma. Production is overseen by Zaccagnini, a winery founded in 1978 and a true interpreter of the deep connection with the local agricultural environment. The name Tralcetto symbolises the link between the vine’s life cycle and the final product. This territorial expression results in a dry white, capable of telling the story of its land through a clean profile and marked savouriness.
How it is produced
The production process aims to preserve the primary characteristics of the grape variety. Vinification and ageing take place in stainless steel tanks, a technical choice that ensures aromatic integrity and enhances the lively notes of lime zest. The result is a dynamic wine, distinguished by a well-balanced mineral balance. To fully appreciate its qualities, the optimal serving temperature is between 8 and 10°C. To maintain the wine’s vibrancy, it is recommended to store it away from light in a horizontal position, in an environment with a constant temperature and controlled humidity.
History and Curiosities
Produced in Bolognano, the Pecorino d’Abruzzo DOC from the historic Cantina Zaccagnini, founded in 1978, celebrates the authentic connection with the Abruzzo region. The famous Tralcetto motif applied to the bottle symbolises the continuity between the vineyard and the wine poured into the glass. Under the supervision of oenologist Federica Lauterio, the 2024 vintage matures in stainless steel tanks to preserve its brilliant freshness. It is recommended to store the bottle horizontally and away from light.
