1989 Asiago Vineyards Santa Cruz Mountains Zinfandel

Asiago Vineyards was founded by Tony Rigoni, a native of Asiago in the Vicenza province of northern Italy, who established the estate above 2,400 feet at the top of Monte Bello Ridge in the Santa Cruz Mountains beginning in 1985. The high-elevation site benefits from warm days and cool nights on the same ridge as Ridge Vineyards' Monte Bello estate, farming Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese, and Merlot in small quantities.
