The more approachable Feudo Montoni Nero d'Avola; less austere than Vrucara, with a cherry-herb character and the estate's distinctive high-altitude mineral warmth.

What it pairs with

  • Pasta alla Norma
    Classic Sicilian pasta with fried aubergine finds its natural red wine in this warm-fruited Nero d'Avola.
  • Grilled lamb ribs with herbs
    Medium tannin and herbal notes complement herb-seasoned lamb.
  • Aged pecorino
    Warm dark fruit is a classic pairing with sharp sheep's-milk aged cheese.

History

Lagnusa is Feudo Montoni's entry-level Nero d'Avola, offering access to the estate's distinctive high-altitude style at an everyday price. It shares the organic farming approach and central-Sicilian terroir of the Vrucara, in a more immediately approachable profile.
