INTRO:
Sicily is one of the most wine-producing regions in Italy, together with Veneto, Emilia-Romagna and Apulia. Sicily's wine-growing traditions are ancient and date back to the Phoenicians, Romans, Greeks and Arabs.
Sicily boasts numerous indigenous grape varieties such as frappato, nero d'Avola, inzolia, catarratto, nerello mascalese and nerello cappuccio, malvasia delle Lipari and moscato d'Alessandria (zibibbo, from the Arabic zibib meaning 'a raisin').
Based on the type of grape, we can understand the cultivation area of the various vines mentioned above:
- Muscat wines, Moscato di Siracusa and Moscato di Noto we find them in the Syracuse area
- Wines based on Nero d'Avola, Frappato and Ceraselo di Vittoria DOCG are produced in the province of Ragusa
- Grillo, Grecanico, Catarratto and Inzolia vines are the protagonists of the Alcamo DOC
- La Malvasia delle Lipari famous Aeolian Islands in the Messina area
- On the slopes of Etna, considered 'an island within an island' due to the characteristic lava soil and the microclimate that characterises this area, we find Nerello Mascalese, Nerello Cappuccio, for red, rosé and sparkling wines and Catarratto and Carricante for white wines. From these vines are produced the famous Etna DOC.
- The province of Caltanissetta is home to one of Sicily's most recent DOCs, the Riesi
- Marsala is a historic DOC that takes its name from the municipality of the same name in the province of Trapani.
- Also in the province of Trapani is the island of Pantelleria, where the Passito di Pantelleria

With this 100% Catarratto, which has been widely planted in Sicily since very ancient times, the Mazzei family continues its efforts to enhance Sicily's indigenous grape varieties. The pedoclimatic peculiarities of the Zisola estate, with its highly calcareous soil and proximity to the sea guaranteeing excellent ventilation, combined with the low-yield bush-training method of cultivation and the characteristic acidity of Catarratto, guarantee a fresh and long-lived wine.

The soils of the island of Mozia derive from seabed of marine origin. They are sandy and loose soils. The presence of limestone is important, which causes an alkaline reaction in the soil (pH 8.2) and influences the organoleptic characteristics of the grapes.
The depth of the soil allows the sapling to develop properly. The 'Marsala style' pruning is the most appropriate for Grillo, given the low fertility at the base of the shoot. Harvesting, slightly ahead of ideal ripeness, preserves some acidity to maintain the freshness of the sip and the longevity that the white of Mozia has demonstrated over the years.
The weather on the island of Mozia was characterised by a cool spring, with good rainfall in March that ensured a good water supply to the vines throughout the production cycle. Summer was very hot and dry, but well tolerated by the alberello, the typical form of cultivation of Grillo vines on the island of Mozia.
The harvest began on 18 August, starting with the young Khoton vineyard, and continued until 28 August with the harvest from the Eastern Steps vineyards.
Perfect ripeness and health of the grapes, good sugar content and excellent structure and aromaticity of the wine.
It is the true expression of Sicilian chardonnay.
