Note di degustazione
In 2009, the flagship 2009 Nero d'Avola Vrucara is drop dead gorgeous. Black cherries, tar, licorice and melted rocks meld together in a big, boisterous Nero d'Avola. Here, too, the style is very much forward and full-throttle, especially within the context of Nero d'Avola, but it all works. The 2009 is all about power wedded to expressive inner perfume and sheer depth of fruit. I see a wine of exceptional richness and character in the glass. Tobacco, mint, licorice and juicy dark cherries add complexity on the rich, enveloping finish.

In 2009, the flagship 2009 Nero d’Avola Vrucara is drop dead gorgeous. Black cherries, tar, licorice and melted rocks meld together in a big, boisterous Nero d’Avola. Here, too, the style is very much forward and full-throttle, especially within the context of Nero d’Avola, but it all works. The 2009 is all about power wedded to expressive inner perfume and sheer depth of fruit. I see a wine of exceptional richness and character in the glass. Tobacco, mint, licorice and juicy dark cherries add complexity on the rich, enveloping finish. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2019. The two Nero d’Avolas are the highlights in these new wines from Feudo Montoni. The entry-level Nero d’Avola is made from the estate’s younger vines and is aged for a short period in neutral French oak, while the Vrucara is an old-vines bottling that sees a year or more in French oak barrels and casks. Both are striking and highly recommended. Importer: Selected Estates of Europe, Mamaroneck, NY; tel. (914) 698-7202
