Summer is the perfect time to enjoy fresh, light, and vibrant wines. After a long hot day, there’s nothing better than a glass of wine that refreshes you and makes you feel good. If you’re looking for wines that have body but aren’t heavy, Zinio 200, Zinio Blanco, and Zinio Rosado are ideal choices. These wines combine freshness and flavor, making them perfect companions for your most relaxed summer moments. Discover why these three wines will become your summer allies!

Zinio 200: A Fresh Yet Full-Bodied Red

When we think of red wines for summer, we often believe they’re not the best option due to their weight and the heat of the season. But Zinio 200 is the exception. Made from 90% Tempranillo and 10% Graciano, this red wine is fresh, vibrant, and full of flavor—without the heaviness of more structured reds. Its careful vinification preserves the fruit’s freshness, while aging in oak barrels gives it complexity and character.

Aroma and Flavor
Zinio 200 has an intense aroma, with notes of raspberry, currant, and blackberry. As it opens up, you’ll also detect subtle hints of vanilla, lavender, and rosemary. The result is a wine with excellent structure that still feels light, making it perfect for a summer day.

Pairing
This wine is ideal with grilled meats, pasta with tomato sauce, or cured Iberian meats. Thanks to its freshness and balanced body, it’s also perfect to enjoy on its own when all you want is a good glass of wine.

Zinio Blanco: A Tropical and Refreshing White Wine

Zinio Blanco is the perfect companion for hot days. Its blend of 60% White Tempranillo and 40% Viura creates a fresh, vibrant wine with intense aromas of tropical fruits and citrus. If you’re looking for a white wine that’s not only light but also packed with flavor and freshness, this is the one for you.

Aroma and Flavor
Zinio Blanco bursts with tropical fruits like pineapple and mango, with a refreshing citrus touch. It has a balanced acidity that gives a refreshing mouthfeel and a smooth, pleasant finish. It’s full-bodied but light enough to be enjoyed at any time of day.

Pairing
This wine pairs beautifully with light pasta dishes, fresh salads with vinaigrette, grilled seafood, and fresh dishes like ceviche or tuna tartare. It also goes well with fruity desserts like lemon tarts or tropical fruit salads. Or simply enjoy it on its own for a relaxing afternoon.

Zinio Rosado: Refreshing and Light for Every Occasion

Zinio Rosado is the wine you need for those days when you want something light and refreshing, but with enough personality to make each sip memorable. Made with 100% Garnacha, this rosé offers vibrant freshness and well-balanced acidity, making it ideal for hot summer afternoons.

Aroma and Flavor
With a salmon-pink color, Zinio Rosado features aromas of citrus, red berries, and a floral touch that’s very appealing to the nose. On the palate, it’s light yet structured, with well-integrated acidity that makes it refreshing without being watery. The finish is clean, with a subtle persistence of fruity flavors.

Pairing
This wine is perfect with light dishes like fresh salads, rice dishes, and grilled meats. It also pairs wonderfully with fruit tarts or tropical fruit salads. And like the other two wines, Zinio Rosado is refreshing and balanced enough to enjoy on its own—perfect for those moments when you just want to unwind with a great glass of wine.
