The 2015 Noto Rosso Doppiozeta is a pure expression of Nero d'Avola from alberello vines. The wine's name "double z" (or doppiozeta) refers to the two z's in the Mazzei family name. In the past, this wine was blended with Syrah, but this vintage appears to be a pure expression of the Sicilian grape. This is a soft and forthcoming red wine with plump flavors of cherry and blackberry. This vintage is simple, easy-drinking and charming with a stripped-down personality and moderate intensity on the close. The oak regime is more sophisticated here. The wine ages in barrique (with 50% new oak) for 16 months. Some 13,000 bottles were made.
