A fantastic carbonic maceration wine, an authentic Italian ‘Vino Novello’, a young wine produced in exactly the right traditional way, macerating all the grapes as whole bunches, and not just in part. It’s the Novello in the Tralcetto range, the iconic wine collection from Ciccio Zaccagnini, known for its strong attachment to the land and its easily recognisable bottles due to the little vine twig attached to or embodied on the neck. A single varietal made from Montepulciano grapes, totally captivating, fragrant and delicious, light-bodied, fresh and very easy to drink.

Showing deep ruby red, it releases intense aromas laden with rich spice and dried fruit; in the mouth it is a wine of superb richness and majestic flavours. Serve at cool room temperature, uncorking the bottle at least one hour beforehand. The perfect wine for all roasts and game, as well as for aged cheeses.

The Zeni winery is located and operates in Bardolino, on the slopes of the hills overlooking Lake Garda. It’s here, in the very heart of the vineyard area of the homonymous Bardolino wine, that the carefully selected grapes, coming from both privately owned and long-term lease vineyards, are conveyed.
