Feudo Montoni, Nerello Mascalese "Rosé di Adele" Sicily, Italy 2023

The 2023 Rosé di Adele is a light pink. The wine brings together scents of pink rose petals and yellow peaches with hints of black pepper, blackberries, pomegranate, and wild strawberries. It tastes pleasantly nervy, has a solid structure, and provides a fresh, persistent, and savory experience.

The wine is vinified in contact with the skins in cryomaceration, then pressed very softly. Fermentation occurs in cement tanks. Ages sur lie with batonnage in cement containers for 6 months.

Feudo Montoni has been producing top-quality wines on its historic grounds since 1469. The winery is currently overseen by Fabio Sireci, the third generation of a family dedicated to producing the most refined expressions of this long-cultivated terrior.

Rosé di Adele is the name of the cru from which the grapes hail. The name has its origins in a rose garden that Fabio’s father, Elio, dedicated to his beloved wife, Adele.

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.
