Relish Zinfandel, a grape that has found its true home in California's sun-kissed vineyards. Our collection celebrates its jammy fruit flavors, peppery zing, and American spirit. Journey through the multifaceted universe of Zinfandel, a grape with roots in Croatia but fame in California. Whether it's the peppery reds or the breezy rosés, Zinfandel wines are a testament to versatility.
Zinfandel is California's own red grape, though DNA testing showed it is the same variety as Croatia's Crljenak Kaštelanski and Italy's Primitivo. It gives bold, juicy red wines with blackberry, raspberry jam, black pepper and sweet spice.
Some of California's oldest vineyards are planted with Zinfandel, with vines over 100 years old. These gnarled old vines give small crops of concentrated, complex fruit, and "Old Vines" on the label is a sign of quality. Sonoma County is one of its best regions. The Seghesio family has made Zinfandel there since 1895; its Old Vines bottling comes from some of the family's oldest plots.
In Puglia, in the heel of Italy, the same grape is called Primitivo. Primitivo di Manduria is rich and warm, with dark plum, fig and spice, like Attanasio's.
The pale pink, sweet "White Zinfandel" is a different style made from the same grape. The wines in this collection are full-bodied dry reds.
Serve slightly cool, at 15–17°C. Zinfandel is made for barbecue: ribs, pulled pork, burgers and sticky glazed meats. It also suits pizza, chilli and hard cheeses.
