Zisola has two vineyards with alberello, or bush-trained, Nero d’Avola vines that were planted next to one another back in 2005. With fruit from those sites, the 2019 Sicilia Noto Rosso Doppiozeta is a different wine from past editions thanks to tweaks in winemaking that are meant to underline elegance and to respect the territory (including phasing in new and different oak barrels for finer tannins), proprietor Filippo Mazzei explains. Harvest is earlier to obtain fruit freshness, and the wine sees an easy 20 days of skin contact. This vintage shows lots of pretty primary freshness, tart cherry, spice and crushed stone.
