Feudo Montoni Perricone del Core 2022
As always with Feudo Montoni: one grape variety, one vineyard site. Perricone from Il Core (“The Heart”), a site that not only has a heart-shaped form but is also at the heart of the Feudo Montoni estate.
The wine opens with aromas of dark cherries and plums, complemented by delicate violet and earthy notes. On the palate, it is juicy, rounded and beautifully layered, with a long finish and a savoury hint of salt liquorice.
Remarkably cool and complex for a Sicilian red, with a freshness that reflects its high-altitude vineyard. Sicily meets Burgundy.
