The Catarratto 'Contrada Zisola' comes from the Zisola estate in Noto, where the Mazzei family presents elegant native Sicilian grape varieties. It is a white wine produced according to tradition but with an innovative vinification method: one half of the grapes is vinified traditionally, the other half is harvested late and macerated in cocciopesto. The result is a complex and long-lived white wine. The nose is dominated by intense hints of citrus fruits, as well as herbaceous and iodine hints reminiscent of the sea. On the palate it surprises for its structure, the maceration gives it a red structure, and for the elegant balance of the sip
