WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Z1N Il Numero Uno Zinfandel involves a deliberate harvest strategy where a portion of the Zinfandel grapes are picked when overripe to intensify the wine's aromas and flavor profile. Following harvest, the wine undergoes a significant aging process, spending 12 months in small oak casks. This maturation period is crucial for developing the wine's structure, complexity, and smooth integration of flavors before bottling.
