Contrada Zisola

The vines are located near Noto at an altitude of around 130 metres, facing south-east. The moderately deep soil is rich in limestone and minerals; the vines are traditionally trained as Alberello. For the élevage, half of the grapes remains on the skins for three months in Cocciopesto amphorae, while the other half is vinified in the classic white-wine style on the fine lees. Fermentation takes place at around 15 °C. The style is fresh and long-lived, with pronounced acidity, mineral tension and a structured, spicy mouthfeel. The first vintage series produced was 2021.
