The Brune Estate
The wine is produced at the Cave Fontesole (Les Vignerons de Fontes) located in Southern France, 55 km from Montpellier, on the footstep of the Cevennes hills.
The cave cooperative has been created in 1930 by 30 grape-growers. Today, it is more than 200 members that are part of the Cave.
The "vignerons" (grapegrowers and winemakers) proud of their Terroirs are producing fruity and generous wines in the respect of the traditions.

Turley Pesenti Zinfandel is made from 100 percent Zinfandel.
Deeply perfumed and enthralling nose of ripe red fruits, high-toned spices, orange zest, and an almost minty crushed chalk. Palate is smooth, lush, energetic, and pure, with a smack of well-toned acidity, satiating structure, and a long, precise finish.
Reviews:
A briar patch in a glass, this Zin is tightly focused and energetic, with flavors of wild berries, underbrush, espresso and pepper that build tension toward broad-shouldered tannins.
-Wine Spectator 93 Points
The 2022 Zinfandel Pesenti Vineyard is a very pretty wine, and also surprisingly delicate for Paso. Medium in body, with terrific nuance, the Pesenti is super-expressive in this vintage. Crushed flowers, blood orange and cedar overtones linger on the aromatic, finessed finish.
