Mazzei Contrada Zisola Terre Siciliane IGT

Description

Mazzei Contrada Zisola Terre Siciliane IGT is an exceptional wine from one of Sicily’s most renowned producers, the Mazzei family. Known for their long-standing tradition of quality winemaking, the Mazzei family has produced a wine that beautifully showcases the unique terroir of the island. This red wine is made primarily from the indigenous Nero d’Avola grape, complemented by a small percentage of international varieties, resulting in a harmonious and well-rounded wine.

The deep ruby color of Contrada Zisola is indicative of its intensity. On the nose, it offers a complex bouquet of ripe blackberries, plums, and cherries, along with subtle notes of pepper, tobacco, and a touch of earthy minerality. The wine is aged in French oak barrels, which impart delicate hints of vanilla, toasted almonds, and a light smokiness, adding depth and richness to the aroma.

On the palate, Mazzei Contrada Zisola is full-bodied with a well-structured profile. The tannins are firm but smooth, creating a balanced mouthfeel that complements the wine’s rich fruit flavors. The wine’s bright acidity ensures a lively freshness that balances the weight of the fruit. The finish is long and lingering, with a delightful blend of fruit, spice, and earthy nuances.

This wine pairs wonderfully with hearty dishes like grilled meats, braised lamb, and rich pasta sauces. Mazzei Contrada Zisola is perfect for those who appreciate bold, complex, and terroir-driven wines from Sicily.
