Elegant and floral -- so pretty! If you love Torrontes, try this wine. Perfect for Asian fair and spices. The vines are planted o steep hillsides.

Reviews and Ratings

Jane Staples - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Fresh, lively apricot and citrus, with a delicious fruity palate with touch of ginger.
Tasted Jan. 2017
This 100% Viognier (2015) from Sicily, from Barone Montalto Collezione Di Famiglia, was matured in French oak. The grapes for this wine enjoyed even ripening in cooler, east-facing vineyards at higher elevations, allowing the Viognier to retain a crisp acidity and imparting honey, ginger and tropical flavours to the wine. - Community Wine Reviews

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.
