Feudo Montoni Nero d'Avola

Will the real Nero d'Avola please stand up?

Italian wine has been front and center in a number of our recent features ... what can we say, we're crazy about the boot.  Really though, there's some tasty juice hitting our desk as of late and it's not stopping anytime soon.  Enter today's excellent pour.  Hailing from Sicily and made of 100% Nero d'Avola, this is not your average bottle .. rather, it's the epitome of the quality.  It boasts the versatility of the varietal (say that three times fast) and quite literally, sets the standard for all others to strive for.

Feudo Montoni is a microscopic producer of quality wine on Sicily, especially when compared to the massive wine 'factories' found on the island.  Their approach starts in the vineyard with very deliberate practices yielding an organic harvest and Nero d'Avola with a rich yet deft flavor set.  We're talking pin point precision aromatics.  Mouthfeel both creamy in character yet racy in nature.  Feudo Montoni is the standard bearer in Nero d'Avola ... and everything they make stands in stark contrast to conventional norms.

We offer you today their 2021 Langusa Nero .. a wine which delivers a pure and visceral stimulation of the senses.  Yeah, it's that good.  As we settle into October weather, this rich red offers a level of freshness often associated with Pinot yet the power found in Nebbiolo.  It is a refreshing change of pace to taste a Nero d'Avola made in this manner.  Be prepared to have your hair lit a blaze as your palate experiences all this beauty has to offer.  This is real Nero d'Avola.
