Feudo Montoni
Grillo della Timpa Sicilia DOC
Timpa is the name of the cru from which these grapes are sourced, derived from the Sicilian word for "strong slope." The vineyard climbs a hill with a gradient exceeding 70%, providing optimal sun exposure and natural drainage. This challenging terrain contributes to the unique character and intensity of the wine.
For centuries, the durum wheat fields have contributed to a “natural isolation” of Montoni’s high-altitude vineyards from the rest of the landscape, creating “an island within an island,” where the ancient grape varieties are protected.

The nose has strong notes of white peach and loquat, with floral aromas of Sicilian Spanish broom, jasmine and almond flowers on the finish. On the palate, it is fresh, persistent and has a remarkable acidity that is well-balanced with alcohol.

"The nose sparkles with fresh yet savory aromas of lemons, limes, herbs and a nutty cheesiness, but also has a delicate, balancing floral sweetness. The palate is dense, as stone fruit joins more citrus and floral notes, before salted nuts usher in a tangy, mineral finish."
— Danielle Callegari, 2024
