Zingatetti Estate, at 3,772 feet of elevation, is a traditional vineyard, cane pruned, high-density plantation, and furrow irrigation. This wine comes from vines of more than 80 years. Excellent growing conditions for this harvest, with minimal rainfall, large thermal amplitude, and temps within historical averages. Aged for 18 months in new French oak (50%), and second use (50%). Bottled unfined and unfiltered in November 2019. Deep color, of violet and black tones. On the nose, it shows aromas of black tea, violets, blueberries, and dark berries. On the palate, it presents freshness, fine-grain tannins, and minerality.
