Ao receber os vinhos da seleção do ClubeW (www.wine.com.br) deste mês, me deparei com um
excelente vinho, Dancing Bull, elaborado com a uva Zinfandel.

Como nunca havia degustado um vinho dessa uva fui aprender
um pouco mais sobre ela.

Produzida quase que exclusivamente na Califórnia, a
Zinfandel teve sua origem descoberta apenas na década de 90. Algumas pessoas
falam que ela tem um parentesco ou até é a irmã gêmea da uva italiana
primitivo. Entretanto a origem da Zinfandel &nbsp;é a uva croata Crljenak Kastelanski (se já foi
difícil escrever, imagina pronunciar esse nome...).

A Zinfandel já foi a uva mais plantada nos EUA, entretando
nos últimos anos vem perdendo espaço para outras cepas como a Syrah, a Pinot Noir e a
Cabernet Sauvignon.

Essa redução de relevância deve-se ao fato do custo de
produção. O custo de produção de um vinho da uva Zinfandel é bem maior do que o
custo de produção de outros vinhos. Isso em função do grande rendimento que
essa uva produz e pelo fato da ter uma maturação irregular dos cachos, o que
demanda um cuidado maior na produção dos vinhos.

Assim como todas as outras uvas, acredito que deva existir
vinhos Zinfandel de péssima qualidade, como também excelentes exemplares a venda.
Entretanto, minha primeira impressão da Zinfandel foi excelente.
