Based in the Valledolmo region of central western Sicily, it’s no wonder the estate is referred to as the ‘Island of Montoni’, with its patch of lush green vineyards amongst a vast expanse of yellow durum.The estate at Feudo Montoni has a long history. The original square court building, or ‘baglio’, was built in the 15th century and was used as the main village to manage the land during this time. It is a beautiful ode to the past. The vineyards can be traced back to that time as well, with Rosario Sireci discovering the ancient vines in the late 1800s when he purchased Feudo Montoni.
The vineyards sit at high altitudes, ranging between 500 metres and 700 metres in elevation, east facing, with the white varieties being planted on the higher sites and on quite intense slopes. Fabio explains that the area is almost always windy, which means they have minimal issues with humidity or frost. The growing season is also welcomed by cool nights, with a large diurnal shift from the intensity of the Sicilian daytime heat. The resulting wines have a level of intensity and purity that is not often seen in this part of Italy.
Timpa means strong slope in the local Sicilian dialect, reflecting the extreme incline that the Grillo vineyard has been planted on.The Grillo is made in much the same way as the Catarratto, yet with greater levels of sand in the vineyard it showcases a more floral, pretty perfume, with stone fruit and almonds balanced out by the fresh acidity.
