ILLUMINAT ZANNA
Montepulciano d’Abruzzo D.O.C. Riserva

“Zanna” is a vineyard designated D.O.C. Riserva wine comprised of 100% Montepulciano d’Abruzzo grape. The soil in the “Zanna” vineyard has a low level of porosity made up of two types of clay - marmosa and argilla (very dry and fine clay composite). Cloning, method of cultivation, and carefully chosen vintages are important factors that add to Zanna’s perfection. The fermentation occurs in stainless steel containers at a controlled temperature between 26º - 28º C. Aging is done in Slavonic oak and barrique. The wine is then aged in the bottle in the cellar for at least one year before release.

The color is an intense ruby red with an aroma that is faintly reminiscent of dried fruits and flowers. The flavor is one of great substance, velvety and elegant. A delight when served with savory sauces, pastas, red meats and game as well as aged cheeses. Serve at room temperature.
