Inglenook Edizione Pennino Zinfandel 1999

The 1999 Edizione Pennino Zinfandel is sealed with a cork branded with one of Francesco Pennino’s original musical titles “Gelosia ©1934,” which means jealousy in Italian. By imprinting the cork with a title written by Francis Coppola’s maternal grandfather, we give credit and tribute to both a beautiful song and great wine.

When Francis Ford Coppola and his wife Eleanor purchased the great Niebaum Estate in 1975, they were counseled to remove the Zinfandel and plant the higher-priced Cabernet Sauvignon. Francis Coppola replied,“But I like to drink Zinfandel,” and the Zinfandel remained.

Blend: 95% Zinfandel, 4% Cabernet Sauvignon, 1% Cabernet Franc
