Product Description

A long history, with close links to the wine world, the Mazzei family name can be traced to the Carmiganano region during the early 11th century. Their Tuscan estate, Castello di Fonterutoli has quite a distinguished past as well. The area was once used as a rest-stop between Florence and Siena throughout the Roman Empire. Retaining its original structure, the castle and its land have belonged to the Mazzei family since 1435. Today, after almost six centuries, Marchesi Mazzei continues in their quest for excellence, producing some Italy’s most sought-after and collectible wines. The Mazzei family consistently pushes the limits, expanding its horizons reaching new heights with their dynamic viticultural and vinification approaches. The estate crafts reference-point examples of the region vintage after vintage.

The 2016 Zisola Achilles Syrah is full and elegant, with notes of black cherry, leaves, forest underbrush, tannic and a rich aftertaste.

“The 2016 Achilles is a dark, savory and layered red wine…..The fruit is intense with background notes of chocolate, spice and smoked bacon. The wine’s intensity is beautiful and generous.” Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate, 93 Points

Due to the rocky and calcareous soil and the dry climate, the Syrah grape express itself at its best in Sicily, and in particular at Zisola, where the alberello (bushy vines) training system controls the natural exuberance of the varietal. Sicily is the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea. Blessed with consistently bright sunshine and reliably moderate rainfall, the classic Mediterranean climate is ideally suited to growing grapes.
