Feudo Montoni Vrucara Nero d'Avola 2018

A powerful and age-worthy Nero d'Avola with aromas of blackberry, black cherry, dried herbs, tobacco, cocoa, and sweet spice. Full-bodied and structured, the palate delivers concentrated dark fruit, mineral depth, and polished tannins balanced by vibrant acidity. Complex and refined, it finishes long with notes of licorice, earth, and lingering spice.

Food Pairing: Braised beef, lamb shanks, wild game, aged cheeses, and rich pasta dishes.

92 Wine Enthusiast Pts: "The nose on Feudo Montoni's Vrucara Nero d'Avola opens like an old book—leathery and dusty—with dried flowers and then peppery herbs. Cherries, strawberries, vanilla and cola come out on the palate, followed by more herbs and pepper notes. Integrated and elegant, with firm tannins and sparkling acid."
