Montoni Nero d'Avola Lagnusa

Montoni Nero d'Avola Lagnusa

Still wine

Description: Feudo Montoni is one of Sicily's most historical producers of Nero d'Avola, the estate dates back to the XVI century, when the prized "Vrucara" single-vineyard was first planted in the Contea di Sclafani area (650 mt asl), and the resulting wines immediately prized by Andrea Bacci (the Vatican's court official sommelier) in his "De Naturali Vinorum Historia". Ever since the foundation of the estate the Sireci family has been tending vines and reproducing massale cuttings from their own exclusive clone of Nero d'Avola. Completely surrounded by cereals and cattles and therefore thoroughly preserved from genetic contamination, the "Vrucara" clone of Nero d'Avola has developed its own distinct identity over the centuries, to deliver us today a unique, extreme rendition of all-authentic, utterly spicy Nero d'Avola. At 650 mts altitude, Feudo Montoni stands out as the highest vine-site Sicily-wide for Nero d'Avola: intense sunshine combined with cool nights and sandy-clayey soils rich in limestone and iron make for a perfect terroir where to grow Nero d'Avola. Grapes ripen slower and later but more evenly here. Food pairing. Pair with red meats, roasts, game, tuna, salami and aged cheeses.
