Del Carlo Winery 2012 Old Vine Zinfandel

Del Carlo Winery 2012 Old Vine Zinfandel

Mission Codename Ancient Roots

For decades, the Teldeschi name has stood for many things. Chief among them are Zinfandel and quality.

The Teldeschi family is one of those American rarities, the multi-generational winemaking family. There aren’t very many that span the decades as do the Teldeschi’s. Their early experience in grape farming for wine dates back to the 1930s. The first vineyard they owned and farmed had its own historical roots, to a winery that was built in 1889. The Teldeschi family took over that winery and have been growing some of the most prized Zinfandel grapes in the Dry Creek Valley.

Today, the Teldeschi family tends vines that are over 100 years old. When they say old vine, they mean it!

This Del Carlo Winery 2012 Teldeschi Home Ranch Old Vine Zinfandel is a unique wine that is loaded with old vine character and quality. Fans of wines made from younger Dry Creek Valley Zin grapes are well advised to taste this wine side-by-side with another 2012. The differences will delight and educate you.
