Feudo Montoni, a historic winery since 1469, is currently led by Fabio Sireci, the third generation of his family to oversee the estate. The Sireci family has long been dedicated to producing high-quality wines with minimal human intervention, using organic farming methods, artisanal cellar practices, and renewable energy sources. The winery produces a range of 100% indigenous varietals, including Nero d'Avola, Perricone, and Grillo, and is particularly known for its pure expression of Nero d'Avola from pre-phylloxera vineyards. All vineyard operations are done by hand, and the winery's commitment to natural practices and high-altitude terroir has earned its wines a reputation as among the finest in the region.

The Timpa cru presents a straw yellow color with green reflections, with a nose that boasts strong notes of white peach and loquat, accompanied by floral aromas of Sicilian Spanish broom, jasmine, and almond flowers on the finish. On the palate, it is fresh, persistent, and remarkably acidic, well-balanced with the alcohol, and has a long and soft finish. The 2022 vintage was marked by favorable climatic conditions, with above-average precipitation and cool nights offsetting hot summer days, resulting in excellent fruit quality. The Timpa vineyard, located in Cammarata, Agrigento, is certified Organic.

White peaches, apricots and jasmine are on the nose with a spritz of lime that announces the coming citrus-soaked palate, where limes meet lemons and oranges before a salty, sanguine finish.

A zesty white, with vibrant acidity buoying an exuberant range of tangerine, kiwi fruit, pink grapefruit granita and lime blossom notes. Sleek and well-knit, with spice and mineral accents on the finish.

The 2022 Grillo Timpa lifts from the glass with a minty freshness, blending sweet green melon with candied lime suggestions. It's soft and enveloping, with brisk acidity ushering in citrus-tinged orchard fruits and saline minerals that add a crunchy sensation. The 2022 finishes perfumed and wickedly fresh. The mouth is left watering as barely-ripe kiwi hints fade.
