Wine By Nine

Red Wine by Nonno Zito from Central Coast, California. Fresh in primary fruit, jammy blackberry and cherry flavors, with a keen streak of acidity, and an overall sense of balance and complexity. Although this wine has no history of aging, it seems to have everything it needs to develop. -Wine Enthusiast Founder, Gregg Linn also owner of Ambullneo winery, considers Nonno Zito wines an intersection of his passion and dreams. Every drop proudly honors his paternal grandfather Calogero Zito, a native of Ribera, Sicily. At the turn of last century, Gregg's grandfather bravely immigrated with his wife Giovanna to this new world of America, where he confronted the unknown to create a better and larger life. Nonno Zito's label is a silhouette of two men sitting on a bench, each holding a glass of wine. Greg explains that the two men are him and his grandfather but since his grandfather died before he was born, it is a vision of how Gregg would spend the day with his grandfather. It's a peaceful moment, in an out-of-the-way place, free from noise and people where they could enjoy a glass of wine and Gregg could ask him questions about his life and passions.
