Playing to their strengths, they have focused on the local grape Verdicchio – and the results are spectacular. Zaccagnini’s range of benchmark Verdicchios are as distinctive and individual as you could wish for, each wine possessing its own personality and textural signature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVITICULTURE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are sourced from vineyards on the western slope of the estate, facing inland. Nestled in a natural amphitheatre, these vineyards benefit from a distinctive microclimate, with steady ventilation and shelter from extreme weather. The soil is a blend of clay and sand. Covering 30 hectares, all certified organic, the vineyards encircle the winery — their proximity allowing the grapes to be processed immediately after harvest. Only manual harvesting is practised, ensuring the fruit arrives intact and fresh. Around 70% of the vineyards are planted with Verdicchio, with the remaining 30% dedicated to Chardonnay, Sauvignon, Passerina, and Pecorino.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWINEMAKING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZaccagnini works exclusively with clones of native grape varieties from its own region, constantly exploring and refining them. Harvesting is carried out entirely by hand. Gentle pressing and low-temperature fermentation take place in glass-lined concrete tanks. Every stage of production, including bottling, is completed in-house at the winery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTASTING NOTE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn elegant wine, notes of acacia and of wildflowers, the mouth is an intense medley of apples, lemons, stone fruits, herbs and nuts and has a long-lasting finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFOOD MATCHING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrilled scampi, mushroom risotto and roast chicken.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zaccagnini","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55539272384888,"sku":null,"price":19.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/7154\/6040\/files\/Zaccagnini_VerdicchiodiCastellidiJesiClassicoSuperiore.png?v=1778773892","url":"https:\/\/www.winekraft.co.uk\/products\/zaccagnini-segnavento-verdicchio","provider":"WineKraft","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
