La Regina

2007 Puglia Zinfandel

La Regina La Regina is an exquisite 2007 Zinfandel from the sun-kissed region of Puglia, renowned for its vibrant wines that embody the essence of the Mediterranean.

La Regina La Regina is a testament to the craftsmanship of Puglia's winemakers and the region's ability to produce wines that radiate joy and sophistication.

Puglia

The heel of Italy's "boot," sunny Puglia (the "g" is silent), is famed for its olive oils, almonds and of course, its rich, full-bodied wines. Although dry and intensely hot in the summer, Puglia has coastlines on three sides, providing cool Mediterranean breezes to alleviate the daytime heat. Primitivo (known in the US as Zinfandel) does well here, with other popular red varieties including Sangiovese and Negroamaro. But it is not all about reds in Puglia: the local Fiano grape produces gloriously nutty, tropical-flavored white, while Falanghina makes intensely fruity wines with citrus blossom notes.
