Zinfandel is the darling red grape of California, though it is also a significant variety in southern Italy where it is known as Primitivo. Originally from Croatia (called Tribidrag), the Zinfandel/Primitivo grape tends to be big, powerful stuff, relatively high in alcohol and kind of stewy in character. In Italy these robust reds tend to have a touch more acidity and charm than their Californian counterparts which win out in the bang-for-the-buck stakes, showing loads of jammy, almost over-ripe fruit character with richness and power to burn.
I have enjoyed these wines very much - in particular I liked the Belle Vignes which was rich and very flavoursome
The Cabra Cega was a particularly easy drinking quaffing wine.
Still have another 2 bottles left to sample

Great
Great selection, great taste, great value, fast delivery
Quality is consistent. Deeper bouquet and flavor than most Cali Zins. The Earth tones come thru beautifully about two years from Vintage. Wonderful
Red to contemplate on its own or with good food.
