Crafted with Italian Artistry
Zonin sources Montepulciano grapes from Abruzzo’s rolling hills in Central Italy, where the region’s unique terroir and Mediterranean climate yield vibrant, expressive fruit. The grapes are gently pressed to release their juice, with minimal skin contact to achieve the wine’s soft pink hue, and fermented in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures of 28-30°C (82-86°F) to preserve fresh aromas. The wine undergoes malolactic fermentation, creating a rounder, fuller flavor profile. This meticulous process, rooted in Zonin’s seven generations of winemaking expertise, results in a rosé that’s both elegant and approachable, reflecting Abruzzo’s rich viticultural heritage. Its quality has earned praise, including a 90-point score from Luca Maroni Annuario for the 2022 vintage.
