Feudo Montoni, Nero D'Avola, Vrucara, Sicily 2019
From prephylloxera vines, which the estate considers their ‘mother plants.’ The vines in the Vrucara vineyard contain a unique and old genetic code of Nero d’Avola, guarded for centuries at Montoni. The first mention of these plants was in 1590 in the De Naturali Vinorum Historia.
A bright ruby red color, Vrucara is intense and persistent on the nose with earthy aromas, notes of red plum and dark berries, which are in harmony with notes of red rose petal, wormwood, balsamic, eucalyptus and licorice. Soft and velvety on the palate, with a delicate acidity and well-balanced and soft tannins. 40 months in cement, 4 months in barrels, 8 months in the bottle.
