WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Epicuro Zinfandel is produced using grapes from Puglia, Italy. Winemaking involves careful selection and harvesting of the grapes. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks and large wooden barrels under controlled temperatures. Post-fermentation, the wine is matured in stainless steel tanks or, in some cases, for several months in oak barrels. Some specific Zinfandel wines from the producer may undergo longer aging in small oak barrels. Maturation on fine lees for a few months is also a potential technique.
