About this winery

The history of Marchesi Mazzei is the story of Tuscany, uniting the family and famous region since the 11th century. The winery’s roots in the territory span over 600 years and continue to expand through new wineries and vineyards, including Castello di Fonterutoli in the heart of Chianti Classico, Belgvardo in Maremma (Tuscany), Zisola in Noto (Sicily) and Prosecco house Villa Marcello in Treviso (Veneto). Ser Lapo Mazzei is the author of the first known document to use the "Chianti"...

Product notes

Zisola is made only from traditional Alberello (bushy) vines grown near Noto, an unique area to make wine. The proximity of the sea and the soil rich in limestone allow to best balance the natural Nero d'Avola exuberance, with a great freshness and elegance.

Production notes

Hand picked harvest. Fermentation temperature (26-28°C). Period of maceration (14-16 days). Ageing in small French oak barrels (225 litres/33% new) for 10 months.

Tasting notes

Well built, forest fruits and sunny orange peel flavors, long and layered taste. Serve with spicy fish soups, savoury pasta and rice dishes, grilled red meats and vegetables.
