Tasting Notes
Catarratto is an indigenous Sicilian white grape that is found most commonly in the western half of the island. The Feudo Montoni estate is in the center of Sicily and the "Vigna del Masso" is a single-vineyard plot of very old vines. Vibrant with floral aromas, intense minerality, and fresh herb aromas. The Albarello (tree) vines enjoy a high elevation of 700 meters above sea level and shows fresh, mouth watering acidity.

Harvested from 55 year-old vines grafted by hand onto wild plants, the speciality of the town of Masso in central Sicily comes through loud and clear in this wine. Crisp and tangy, with just enough fruit and minerality for a wonderfully balanced wine.
