The 2018 Zinfandel Giuseppe and Luisa has a medium ruby color and an elegant profile, with a nose of saline, apricots, raspberry and strawberry, plus notes of black tea, blood orange and earth. Medium-bodied, it has a silky texture and nuanced flavor layers with seamless freshness and a long, layered finish. 1,462 cases produced.

The 2018 Zinfandel Giuseppe & Luisa is, in my view, once again the most distinctive Zinfandel in this range. Bright acids, floral overtones and chiseled red fruit scream with Russian River character. Medium in body, gracious and beautifully perfumed, the Giuseppe & Luisa is flat-out gorgeous. I loved it.

About the producer

Martinelli

Martinelli is a Sonoma benchmark for vineyard-designate bottlings—wines built to highlight how strongly a single site can shape Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah, and Zinfandel. Across the range, the focus stays consistent: small-production bottlings that feel distinctly tied to where they’re grown.
