WINE DESCRIPTION

Martinelli Giuseppe & Luisa Zinfandel is a premium red wine produced by Martinelli Winery. Family-owned, this wine is a homage to the forebears who established the business. Located in the Russian River Valley appellation of Sonoma County, California. The wine is made from Zinfandel grapes grown in the Martinelli family's estate vineyards. The winemaking process involves hand-harvesting the grapes from the oldest vines, fermenting them in small batches, and using a high proportion of new French oak barrels. The resulting wine is a rich and powerful Zinfandel with notes of blackberry, cherry, and spice, balanced by a broad, velvety texture. Martinelli Giuseppe & Luisa Zinfandel is a must-try for any wine enthusiast looking for a high-quality California Zinfandel.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Martinelli Giuseppe & Luisa Zinfandel is immense.The wine shows a profound concentration of bramble fruit. The body is of similar magnitude, enriched by alcohol, it has great breadth and is supported by velvety tannins. Pungent notes of baking spice from high-toast new oak add complexity and the finish is long. Suitable for anyone who enjoys full-throttle red wines. Serve with brisket or pulled pork. Drink now or over the next 8 years.
