Zinfandel is a versatile red wine and rosé made from the Zinfandel grape variety, primarily known for its jammy fruit flavors such as blackberry and raspberry, complemented by notes of pepper, spice, cherry, and plum. This medium to full-bodied wine can exhibit a smooth texture or a slightly tannic finish depending on the winemaking techniques employed, which often include fermentation with native or cultured yeasts and aging in French or American oak barrels.
Originating mainly from California’s renowned Napa Valley and Sonoma County regions, Zinfandel also has roots in Italy as Primitivo. Its aromatic profile features enticing scents of black cherry, raspberry jam, vanilla, clove, and anise. Ideal for casual gatherings like barbecues or picnics as well as more formal dining occasions, Zinfandel pairs beautifully with barbecue meats, pizza, pasta with tomato sauce, grilled vegetables, and spicy dishes. The wine’s adaptability makes it a popular choice among wine enthusiasts.
