From 40-year-old vines in the cru that Feudo Montoni calls ‘Core’ Sicilian for heart, in a heart-shaped block in the vineyard grown at 500m. Aromas of tobacco, dusty cherries and bay leaf mark this wine of depth and complexity. The palate is spicy, a true signature of the grape, as this wine was done almost entirely in concrete vessels. A touch of briny minerality lends itself to sea salt and dark chocolate flavours—a tightly wound core of black fruits draped in minerality and showing ample structure and ageability.
