Feudo Montoni, Sicilia DOC (Sicily, Italy) LagnusaNero d’Avola2022 ($24, Wilson Daniels)

The Sireci family owns Feudo Montoni, which was founded in 1469 and is one of Sicily’s oldest producers. They focus on autochthonous varieties, such as winsome Nero d’Avola, made from organic grapes. When done right, as this one exemplifies, Nero d’Avola displays an alluring combination of red and black fruit complemented by savory nuances. This suavely textured mid-weight red has enough oomph to go with a spiced-infused, tomato-based, mushroomy, meaty pasta.
