Saldo - Zinfandel California 2022 is produced in California with fruit sourced from vineyards selected for balance and varietal clarity. Hand harvesting and small‑lot vinification allow careful control of fermentations, with an emphasis on clean extraction and preservation of fruit integrity.

Fermentation is conducted in stainless steel or small open‑top tanks, depending on the varietal, with pump‑overs or punch‑downs managed to achieve structure without harshness. Aging takes place in a mix of French and American oak barrels, where time in wood refines texture and brings added complexity without masking the grape’s natural profile.

Each vintage reflects a commitment to sustainable vineyard practices and precise cellar work, yielding a wine that stands as a faithful expression of both varietal and region.

Saldo

Saldo is a wine brand that is part of The Prisoner Wine Company, a well-known producer in Napa Valley, California. The name "Saldo" comes from an Italian word meaning "I join" or "I weld," a nod to the winemaking team's approach of blending grapes from different vineyards across California to create a final, cohesive wine.

The brand's identity is to explore and reinterpret classic varietals, particularly Zinfandel, in a bold and modern style. Saldo's flagship wine is a Zinfandel that helped to reinvigorate interest in this classic California grape. The brand has since expanded its portfolio to include a red blend, a Chenin Blanc, and a Shiraz.

The winemaking philosophy is centered on blending high-quality fruit from various regions, staying off the beaten track of more common varietals and instead bringing unexpected offerings to consumers. This approach is reflected in the wines' flavor profiles, which are known for being rich, full, and fruit-forward, with a smooth finish. The brand's minimalistic and eye-catching label, inspired by Dymo label tape used by winemakers in cellars, further reinforces its contemporary and refined identity.
