Zingari was born as an experimental vineyard to test the attitude of its varietals: Syrah, Merlot, Sangiovese and Petit Verdot. Highly concentrated ruby color, which introduces the Mediterranean aromatic notes of this wine. Soft and full-bodied in mouth, it has a fresh flavor with good acidity and a structure with balsamic and mineral notes that make Zingari pleasant and interesting.

Huge 92+ point scores in three straight vintages, the Zingari Toscana Rosso is an ambitious project created by the father/daughter team of Vittorio and Francesca Moretti. The Moretti's are known for producing Italy's best sparkling wines, but we are constantly drawn back to this charming blend of Sangiovese, Petit Verdot, Syrah, and Merlot. With vineyards in the coastal area of Val di Cornia, the Zingari Toscana Rosso is very floral and alluring. A well of dark cherry, black currant and blackberry fruit makes this red sumptuous and inviting. Fresh earth, thyme and rosemary accents add depth. Wine Spectator #1 value wine back in 2019 (2017 Vintage) and #29 on the Top 100, the 2018 vintage continues the Moretti tradition of charm, balance, and finesse.

James Suckling: 92 Points
"A fresh, vivid red with cherries, currants and hints of hazelnuts and chocolate. Medium body. Racy finish. Like the vivid acidity that runs through this. Drink or hold." James Suckling, 92 Points
