Feudo Montoni Vrucara Nero d'Avola 2014

Description

Fabio Sireci farms one of the most beautiful vineyard spots in Italy that overlooks an infinite expanse of vines and shifting waves of grain over softly rolling hills in inland Sicily. On a cloudy day, you can watch the magnificent peek-a-boo of brilliant sunbeams shine over the landscape as if you were in front of a life-sized movie screen. Those beautiful images always come to mind when I drink this wine. Tasted from magnum, the 2014 Sicilia Nero d'Avola Vrucara is maturing beautifully and slowly. The wine is dark and ripe at its core, but it shows a delicate framing of cola, dried rosemary, scorched earth, smoke, wild mushroom and fragrant rose hip. The bouquet is fluid and ever moving - much like that Sicilian landscape I described above?offering new layers of aromas with every swirl of the glass. In the mouth, the wine is fresh and very alive. Drink date: 2019-2030. Score - 96. (Monica Larner, robertparker.com, Dec. 28, 2018)
