Days like this don’t come often!, a stunning wine crafted by 4th-generation winemaker Mark Mazzoni. This is your chance to experience the purity and elegance of a Zinfandel that showcases the artistry of concrete fermentation and rivals wines more than triple its price.
Vivino reviewer Mark G. raves about Mazzoni's approach, noting, "Mark Mazzoni does some amazing things with his battery if custom concrete tanks. This is perhaps a truer, more pure expression of the varietal than most as it is not draped in the essence of oak." He adds, "The result is a very smooth, very approachable wine that is complex and flavorful and all around all winner!" Fellow reviewer Chad B. concisely sums up the wine's quality, stating that it "Swings above its weight and a well formed Zinfandel."
Mark Mazzoni's winemaking journey is deeply rooted in his family's legacy and his connection to the land. Having worked alongside renowned winemakers like Philippe Melka and cultivated relationships with established wineries like Jordan and Jackson Family Wines, Mazzoni brings a wealth of experience and expertise to his craft. In fact, the Mazzoni Estate Vineyards supply fruit to Jordan Winery, whose wines command prices of $60 or more per bottle – a testament to the exceptional quality of the grapes that go into the 2020 Zialena Reserve Zinfandel.
At Zialena Winery, which he co-founded with his sister Lisa Mazzoni, Mark's commitment to innovation shines through in his decision to embrace concrete fermentation. This method, seldom used in the New World but prevalent in the Old World, allows the true character of the Zinfandel grape to take center stage, unencumbered by the influence of oak.
The 2020 Zialena Reserve Zinfandel is a testament to Mark Mazzoni's artistry and dedication to sustainable farming practices. With its smooth texture, complex flavors, and undeniable elegance, this wine promises to delight and inspire Zinfandel lovers and curious wine enthusiasts alike – all at an unbelievable price that's 60% off its original value.
