Mazzei Zisola 2022

Sicily, ItalyThis is an interesting look at Sicilian nero d'avola subjected to some Tuscan polish. The trick is taming the Sicilian ripeness with a bit of Tuscan restraint. Look for blackberry, mulberry, orange peel, wild Mediterranean herbs, measured oak, dark fruit, licorice, and mostly smooth tannins. The calcareous soils and cooling sea breezes preserve freshness, giving the wine energy, structure, impressive drinkability, and a surprisingly elegant, lightweight style that is perfectly in tune with summer.Tasted: 21 June 2026Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
