Inzolia dei Fornelli, Feudo Montoni - 2023

If you love Southern Italian white wines like I do, you are in for treat with this bottle of Inzolia from Feudo Montoni. Inzolia, aka Ansolia and Ansonica, was likely brought to Sicily by the Greeks in the 7th century. Historically it's been blended with neighboring white varieties Cataratto and Grillo and used for making Marsala. Feudo Montoni has brought this variety to life with a glass you will not soon forget. The grape has a beautiful golden skin that gives the wine a rich yellow color. You'll find aromas of ripe pear, honey. \To the nose, this feels like a truly aromatic variety like Riesling, but on the palate this glass is textured, medium bodied and deeply mineral with white flower and almond notes. Drink on its own or pair with Mediterranean fare.
