Benito Dusi

Description: Sylvester and Catarina Dusi purchased this homestead in 1924 when the vines were one year old. Their son Benito was born and lived on the ranch until his passing in 2019 at the age of 86. He was able to keep his vines through Prohibition and again during the 1950s and 1960s when Zinfandel prices were very poor by selling wine made from the grapes and by selling grapes to home winemakers. This Zinfandel selection is preserved as a Heritage Zinfandel Clone.
