Zinfandel
Zinfandel, known as Primitivo in Italy, is a bold and fruit-forward red wine that thrives in California and Southern Italy. Zinfandel wines are recognised for their rich flavours of ripe blackberry, raspberry, and dark cherry, often accompanied by notes of black pepper and spices. They can range in style from medium to full-bodied, with varying levels of tannins and acidity. Zinfandel’s jammy fruitiness and robust character make it a natural companion for grilled meats, spicy barbecues, and hearty pasta dishes. It pairs exceptionally well with smoky flavours and savoury spices. Zinfandel’s ability to deliver intense fruit flavours and its versatility with a range of cuisines make it a popular choice for those seeking a vibrant and flavourful red wine experience.
