The fruit for Scotto's Old Vine Zinfandel originates from one of the oldest and most distinctive Zinfandel growing regions in California.

Rich, multi-layered flavours of dark cherry, plum, cassis and spice precede a finish marked by a subtle touch of vanilla and soft tannins.

Hand picked and gently crushed before fermentation in stainless steel on its skin for ten days at 78-82°F, during which the tank was circulated three to five times a day to insure a deep extraction and the development of richness and flavour. Fermentation was followed by 24 months’ maturation in second- and third-year French oak barrels.
