WINE DESCRIPTION
Zisola Doppiozeta Noto Rosso is a premium red wine produced by the renowned Mazzei family in Sicily, Italy. The wine is made from a blend of indigenous Nero d'Avola, Syrah and Cabernet Franc grapes, grown in the sun-drenched vineyards of Noto, a historic appellation known for its rich and complex wines. The vineyards are situated on gentle hillsides with sandy soils, which impart a unique minerality and elegance to the wine. The grapes are carefully handpicked and fermented in stainless steel tanks, followed by aging in French oak barrels for 14 months. The resulting wine is a full-bodied and intense red, with aromas of dark fruit, spices, and a hint of vanilla. The wine is well-structured with firm tannins and a long, persistent finish, making it a perfect match for hearty meat dishes and aged cheeses.
