2000 Cantina Laccagnini

[Rich Pawlak]

I've just received this wine as an early Christmas gift with its clever straw necklace and twig decoration. Can anyone tell me about this wine? I've enjoyed Montepulciano d'Abruzzos for years ( I enjoy pouring these at casual parties and barbeques) but have never seen this one. Just curious about its qualities and suitability. Thanks!

Is it Zaccagnini?

[Craig Camp]

Zaccagnini is in Marche.

I don't know Laccagnini.

Is it Zaccagnini?

Given the very cursive nature of the script on the bottle, yes, it could be Zaccagnini.

I haven't drunk it but 'vini d'italia 2004' gives it 2 black glasses (which means good to excellent)

and says (I translate literally for comic effect)

'demonstrates a well expressed nose and a secure and balanced gustatory development'"

hope this helps

Zaccagnini is in Marche not Abruzzo.

[balex]

there are 2 Zaccagnini

Ciccio Zaccagnini from Bologano (PE) in Abruzzo and

Fratellli Zaccagnini from Staffolo (AN) in le Marche who make Verdicchio

Thanks - I can't find the one in Abruzzo anywhere. Where did you find it?

Never mind I found it in Veronelli. I can't see without my glasses anymore!

[Craig Camp]

According to Veronelli it is pretty middle-of-the-road stuff. They do give the Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Il Tralcetto and San Clemente 2 stars so they should be quite nice.

Thanks, Craig, I'm looking forward to drinking it, and will toast you and Balex when I do.
