Zinfandel is the same grape as Primitivo, but is just the American name for it. Zinfandel is primarily grown in California, particularly in regions such as Sonoma County and Napa Valley. It is also cultivated in other parts of the United States, such as Washington and Oregon.
Zinfandel is known for its bold and robust flavors. It typically produces wines with high alcohol content and rich, jammy fruit flavors, including blackberry, raspberry, and cherry. The grape's thick skin contributes to its intense color and tannins, resulting in wines with a full-bodied and velvety texture.
