Description
'Edizione Pennino Zinfandel pays tribute to Francis Ford Coppola's maternal grandfather, Francesco Pennino. Born in Italy, Francesco emigrated to the United States as a young man and started a music publishing company known as 'Edizione Pennino.' The company's logo depicted two images: the last view of Francesco's homeland, the Bay of Naples, and his first view of America, the Statue of Liberty. Francis Ford Coppola took the design in its original form and used it to identify the estate Zinfandel which, like Francesco Pennino's journey, is the grape most identified with the Italian influence on the California wine industry. To add to the nostalgia, each vintage bottling has one of Pennino's song titles imprinted on the cork.' (rubiconestate.com, 2009)

A Chianti-lovers Zinfandel, offering lively acidity and good focus, combined with zesty flavors of cherry, dill and smoky spice. Drink now through 2023. Score - 90. (Tim Fish, winespectator.com, April 30, 2016)
