Profile & Story
Feudo Montoni, in Cammarata (Agrigento), Sicily, farms organically and propagates its Nero d'Avola "Vrucara" from its own old mother vines grafted onto wild rootstock using an old technique that the estate says gives the fruit a unique Feudo Montoni character. This bottling comes from 35-year-old vines at 600 meters elevation, ferments in cement with malolactic fermentation entirely in cement, and ages 20 months in cement, 4 months in barrel, and 4 months in bottle. 13.5% ABV.
Tasting Notes
Ruby red in color with a complex nose of cherries in spirit, red plum, and blackberry alongside warm spice notes of cinnamon and clove; the palate is soft, enveloping, and savory with a fresh minty lift and delicate, well-judged tannins.
Pairing Recommendation
Red meats, roasted meats, game, tuna, cured meats, and aged hard cheeses.
