Pinot Grigio

Excellent as an aperitif or with fish dishes (salmon and tuna in particular); well suited to accompany also Indian and Japanese dishes, such as sushi.

The 500 acres of the estate of Ciccio Zaccagnini is located in Bolognano, alongside the Rome-Pescara highway, in the province of Pescara. It is situated approximately 30 miles from the coast and about 8 miles from the Maiella Mountain which rises to 2,700 metres a.s.l.

The pinot grigio is allowed to rest in stainless steel vats and then in the bottle before being released for sale.

The grapes are soft pressed with cold skin contact and vacuum pressing; low-temperature maceration is allowed to take place. Slow controlled fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks.

The Azienda Agricola Ciccio Zaccagnini was founded in 1978 and today produces approximately 1 200 000 bottles per year. Under the guidance of its winemaker Concezio Marulli the company applies the most up-to-date wine-making technologies and implements a total quality control system throughout the entire production process. The history of the Zaccagnini vinery is rooted in the passionate relationship between man and nature wine and arts celebrated year after year in November with Uvarte. Famous artists are invited and dedicate a label to the winery. These labels are part of a collection line.
