WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Epicuro Zinfandel undergoes fermentation in stainless steel tanks under controlled temperatures. Some bottlings may benefit from maturation on fine lees for a period before bottling. While not explicitly detailed for the 2022 vintage, other Zinfandel wines from the producer have seen aging in oak barrels. Specific organic versions of the wine also involve fermentation in stainless steel tanks and large wooden barrels, followed by several months of aging in oak barrels.
