Here is a fabulous value wine from a great vintage. The 2014 Sicilia Nero d'Avola Vigna Lagnusa is a rich and penetrating wine with a full load of primary fruit. The wine flaunts its youth and its freshness with vibrant notes of blackberry, plum, black currant, simple spice and toasted almond. What I love about this gorgeous Nero d'Avola is that it delivers varietal intensity and purity. It is never weighed down by those burnt pistachio aromas you sometimes get with the grape from less fortunate sites. Instead, this property with clay limestone soils on a high plain near the center of the island offers uniform growing conditions for consistent and very fruit-forward wines. Named after the Sicilian word for lazy ("lagnusa") because of its low yields, the Lagnusa cru is a vineyard to watch in the future.

Here's an entry-level wine that will leave you utterly satisfied. The 2013 Sicilia Nero d'Avola Vigna Lagnusa is aged in cement and botte to maintain aromatic freshness. Fruit is sourced from 30-year-old vines and Fabio Sireci uses a unique biotype of Nero d'Avola that was discovered here. The wine is soft and layered with dark fruit, dried cherry, pressed blackberry, pressed flowers, leather and crushed stone. Those delicate floral tones are of particular interest. The acidity is balanced and the tannins are soft. This is another home run from Feudo Montoni.
