Zinfandel : a Croatian-American wine story

This concise, illustrated volume traces the remarkable journey of Zinfandel from its roots on the Dalmatian coast to its celebrated status in California. It explores the rediscovery of the grape’s Croatian origins—known locally as Crljenak Kaštelanski or Tribidrag—and the scientific and historical research that reconnected Old World vineyards with New World winemaking traditions. Blending wine history, cultural heritage, and the story of international collaboration, the book sheds light on how a near-forgotten native variety became a symbol of transatlantic ties. An engaging read for wine enthusiasts, historians of viticulture, and anyone interested in the shared heritage of Croatian and American wine.
