The nose begins with sophisticated fruit notes of figs, plums and cherries, then turns intensely earthy and vegetal. That balance between fruit and earth, sweet and astringent continues on the palate, before a dark chocolate finish that is structured by firm, reliable tannins.

There is a lot of buzz surrounding the Perricone grape. The Feudo Montoni 2021 Sicilia Perricone Core opens to a medium dark color with spice, fresh-cut cedarwood and untreated tobacco. There is a lot of dark primary fruit and some sour berry nuances, but the wine feels quite smooth in texture.

The 2021 Perricone Core seduces with a perfumed blend of lavender and violets accentuating crushed blackberries. Soft, round and soothing, this impresses further with its ripe wild berry fruits and inner florals, all guided by juicy acidity. Wild blueberries and a sweet herbal flourish define the finale, as the Perricone Core tapers off long and potent yet remarkably fresh. This is a total pleasure to taste.

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

Once rare and perhaps endangered, Perricone is making a ferocious comeback in Sicily. This indigenous red grape from West Sicily creates structured, deeply colored wines with high acidity and notable tannins with notes of red berries, earth, herbs, and freshly ground nuts. It’s becoming one of Sicily’s most prized “hidden gems” for making complex, aging-capable, and food-friendly wines.

And if you’re going to drink Perricone, where better to get it than from Feudo Montoni. I’ve said time and time again and it still holds true: there is perhaps no winery on Planet Earth that is as synonymous with a wine region quite like Feudo Montoni is with Sicily.
