This old vine Zinfandel released by GiaDomella comes from an estate vineyard located along the Russian River owned by the E. Passalacqua family under the guidance of winemaker Nick Goldschmidt. The land where this historic vineyard is situated has been in our family for nearly a century and has been owned in succession by our great-grandparents, grandparents and parents. Grape growing and winemaking have always been a piece of our family heritage. GiaDomella is a tribute to this heritage and is named after Gianna, Dominic, and Marcella Passalacqua, the 5th generation of our winemaking family. 100% of the grapes are sourced directly from the 50 acre estate vineyard, with the multiple soil types and microclimates lending themselves to this gloriously complex and seamless wine. This Zinfandel is rich, ripe and generous with exotic spices, adding an elegant character to the long finish. This wine is vibrant and concentrated with flashy blackberry and raspberry fruit, finishing with an underlying sense of elegance and grace. It is a wonderful wine to pair with gourmet dishes such as Roasted Lamb or Osso Buco, but will also excel as a companion with �casual food� such as spicy Barbeque and Pizza.
