This Montepulciano belongs to the 'Tralcetto' line, a range of wines presented with very peculiar packaging, characterized by a small piece of vine shoot tied around the neck of the bottle. These shoots come from the pruning of the same Montepulciano vines and are tied by hand by the women of Bolognano, the municipality where the estate is located. The 'Tralcetto' has become the symbol of Zaccagnini in the world, which with the new entry represented by the Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Riserva aims to further focus on this line that has made the brand known in the most important international markets.
