Zaccagnini “Ikebana” Novello Rosso 2025 from Abruzzo is a vivid, violet‑red Montepulciano made in the early‑release novello style, bursting with fresh, primary fruit and soft, playful texture. This Zaccagnini Ikebana Novello 2025 is crafted from Montepulciano grown in the Colline Pescaresi IGT zone and released young for pure, vibrant drinking.

Aromas of fresh cherries, red berries and black cherry are joined by violets and a gently aromatic, almost grapey lift that’s typical of novello wines. The palate is medium‑bodied but very smooth and easy, with juicy red and black fruits, soft tannins and a rounded, well‑orchestrated feel that finishes fresh rather than heavy. It is all about immediacy, fragrance and sheer drinkability.

This is a brilliant match for charcuterie, salumi, antipasti and lighter meat dishes, as well as burgers, roast chicken, pork and even richer fish like tuna or salmon where its fruitiness really shines. It also works nicely with pizzas, pasta with tomato‑based sauces and soft to semi‑hard cheeses for relaxed, casual drinking.
