I bet that if we read “Zinfandel” on a wine label, our minds will immediately travel to the USA. Decanter magazine even said, “Zinfandel is a near-native grape of California.”
Zinfandel is Primitivo's twin brother. This grape arrived in the first half of the nineteenth century on the east coast of the United States, and in the second half of this century, it was transplanted to California, where today, it is considered a flagship wine.
Today’s offer is a unique and revolutionary Italian Old Vine Zin. If you love California Zins, you’ll absolutely adore this wine: A stunning 98-point, 2020 Masca Del Tacco Old Vine Zinfandel Puglia.
