## Wine making process

The Zingled out Zinfandel is produced from hand-harvested Zinfandel grapes in Apulia, Italy. The vinification process is carefully managed to preserve the wine's character. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes aging in large American oak barrels, which contributes to its structure and imparts specific flavor notes. This approach aims to create a wine that reflects the grape and its origin.
