Zisola

The vines are located near Noto in south-eastern Sicily; proximity to the sea and calcareous soils shape the wine and lend freshness to the powerful variety. According to the retailer, the wine is matured in an unspecified vessel; the duration and spontaneous fermentation have not been documented. Stylistically, it shows red and black cherries, red forest berries, as well as subtle floral and herbal notes. The acidity is well integrated, the body medium-bodied, the tannins soft and the finish medium-long. The 2022 vintage was rated 92 points by James Suckling.
