Winemaker Notes:

Our Panorama Zinfandel is a truly unique blend from six top vineyards in Napa, Sonoma and Amador counties. It’s inspired from the warm climate of Italian vineyards. As a family, we visited Italy often and at 15, I learned to cook with the great chef, Giuliano Bugialli, in Florence. It was here that the art of blending ingredients inspired me, and the wines of Italy are often a blend of select grape varietals. Our Magito Panorama captures the essence of grapes from some of the best vineyards and growing appellations, and are sourced from sustainable and organically-farmed vineyards. This wine is packed with dark fruit, spice, and elegant but firm tannins, with spicy exotic aromatics. Each taste is true to its Zinfandel character but will reveal another layer of flavors.
