Winery - Feudo Montoni
* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
An excellent introduction to Nero d’Avola with rich layers of dried currant, tobacco, white mushroom, clove and toasted almond backed by delicate forest floor notes. Sweet, chewy tannins appear over a smoky finish. Imported by Selected Estates of Europe Ltd.

Banana nut bread is one of the many aromas you will encounter in this luminous Chardonnay from Sicily. You’ll also get apricot, nectarine, Golden Delicious apple and mineral. The wine has good depth and personality and very well integrated acidity.

Feudo Montoni’s Grillo delivers abundant aromas of peach and honey over a slightly sweet-smelling nose. In the mouth, the wine shows good balance and richness with refreshing crispness on the close.

There certainly aren’t many Sauvignon Blancs (a grape usually associated with cool climates) made in sunny Sicily. Feudo Montoni has cooling breezes, unique vineyard positioning and a break-the-mold philosophy. The result is a fresh and fragrant wine with intense aromas of exotic fruit and flowers and a fresh, easy close.

The color of this vibrant Sicilian rosé (made with Nero d’Avola) is a deep pink raspberry and the wine’s bouquet offers tones of cranberry, mature forest berry and blueberry skin. There’s crisp spice in the mouth, but there’s also a pungent sour note at the end.

This fresh, easy white (made from Catarratto grapes grown in central Sicily) offers notes of yellow peach, mineral, dried sage and exotic fruit. It’s a simple, no-fuss wine that would pair with light salads or appetizers.

Feudo Montoni’s “N” is a lactic young wine with aromas of almond milk, chopped herbs, exotic spice, cola and root beer. That makes for an awkward combination and the deeply purple-colored wine ends with freshly milled spice and peppercorn.

This vintage of Feudo Montoni’s Sicilian Sauvignon Blanc delivers sharp notes of almond and exotic fruit. There’s also a slightly burnt quality to the nose that makes it hard to identify all the fruit nuances.

Vanilla, rose and almond flower come off the nose of this pleasantly aromatic Grillo from Sicily. There’s persistency and personality here and good acidity on the close to keep the palate refreshed.
