Barone Montalto Nero d’Avola (o) 2019 (12 Bottles) Sicilia, Italy

$262.00 GST Included

AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

This is a fresh and elegant example of Sicily’s great red. In the glass it is a deep red colour with purple tones and exudes flavours of red cherry and raspberry. The palate is true to the nose with primary red berry fruit flavours and a mineral-like acidity.

Its medium bodied profile is rounded off with subtle tannins and a spicy finish. Sicilian reds (unlike many of the wines from further north) are good to drink with or without food – but will always pair beautifully with a good wood-fired pizza! We usually like to chill it down slightly before serving.

About Barone Montalto

The story of Barone Montalto began in Santa Ninfa, in the province of Trapani, in 2000. Barone Montalto produces authentic modern style wines with a Sicilian soul.

Barone Montalto manages around 400 hectares of vineyards, some of which owned. The remaining parts are under the “Montalto quality protocol” which controls the quality of the grapes and guarantees a quality growth over the years.

There is one major feature making us different: the courage in putting in the public eye a strong and wealthy land for introducing its distinctive and authentic wines throughtout the world.

Out constant passion has always been a core topic in our project. Montalto wines come from great tradition and young character and are admired by a more and more attentive audience of consumers. Barone Montalto has grown over the years, like our vineyards and the satisfaction of those who keep on choosing our wines with increasing fidelity.

Winemaking is a noble and ancient art. To achieve this goal we have set up a team driven by passion for the land and respect for tradition but also open to innovations and ambitious to get always better with enthusiasm and professionalism.

Our winery is equipped with facilities in full compliance with the most severe safety and quality regulations. In fact, our cellar is highly certified: besides other quality certificates we already had, in 2015 we were among the first wineries in Italy to receive the AA level of the BRC / GSF plus. Our winemakers’ laboratories are there too, where the winemaking, élèvage and maturation processes take place.

L’Atelier Wines

L’Atelier by Aramis Vineyards was founded in 2012, dedicated to supplying a hand-selected range of quality wines to the independent on and off trade. From small beginnings we now operate across NSW, QLD, VIC and WA as well as in our home state of South Australia. Our distribution company was founded on our absolute belief that there was nobody better to represent our McLaren Vale brand than our own team. From that point our mission was clear - to bring together a collection of wine that would complement and match the quality of our own, and to present these to premium retail and hospitality trade across Australia. We believe in working collaboratively with carefully selected producers from Australia and beyond, each sharing the same passion and commitment to quality. Inspired by the Ateliers of 19th century Paris, we see ourselves as a meeting place for highly talented craftspeople at the top of their trade. Our portfolio consists of premium boutique wines from across Australia, New Zealand, Italy and Spain, all carefully selected to represent the very essence of their region, but most importantly at approachable price-points. We do not aim to build a trophy cabinet, we believe that you do not have to spend a fortune to drink like a king, and our selection reflects our ability to seek out wines that consistently over-deliver and represent the very best value.
