Zinfandel: A Croatian-American Wine Story

This book presents, in layman's terms, the ups and downs of the search for original Zinfandel grape in Croatia from an 'insider' perspective. It describes in detail the science behind the discovery that Crljenak kastelanski, a grape found in limited numbers in Kaštel Novi in Dalmatia, is a genetic match for Californian Zinfandel. For scientists, the book reads as a detective's story ; for historians, it is an account of Dalmatia's histroy reconstructed through 'a vine trail' ; for wine-lovers, it is a guide to the wine and vine resources of the Dalmatian coast ; and for casual tourists, a picturesque portrayal of Croatia and its rare natural beauty.
