Viognier is a white grape variety native to the Rhone Valley in France. In recent decades, this grape variety has also found fertile ground in Sicily, where the Mediterranean climate and the unique characteristics of the soil give the grape an extraordinary aromatic expression and a marked minerality.
Thanks to Barone Montalto's ability to interpret the potential of international grape varieties in a Sicilian key, Viognier has transformed into an oenological gem that stands out for its elegance and character.
The Viognier Collezione di Famiglia represents the pinnacle of this philosophy, obtaining a white wine that enchants the senses, with a rich aromatic bouquet and a complexity of flavors that reflects the Sicilian winemaking tradition and innovation

Tax includedBarone Montalto's Viognier Collezione di Famiglia is born in the vineyards located in the province of Trapani, one of the most suitable areas for viticulture in Sicily. The mild climate, with hot and breezy summers, and the mineral-rich soil create the ideal conditions for the cultivation of Viognier, ensuring high-quality grapes with perfect ripeness.
Viognier Collezione di Famiglia has a brilliant straw yellow color, characterized by golden reflections that recall the warm Sicilian sunsets.
On the nose it stands out for an unmistakable aromatic profile. The floral notes of white flowers and jasmine combine with hints of exotic fruit such as pineapple and mango, while a delicate background of citrus and bitter almond adds a dimension of complexity. It is a wine that captures the essence of the Mediterranean, with aromas that evoke the sunny days and pristine landscapes of Sicily.
In the mouth it offers a rounded and enveloping tasting experience. The flavors of ripe fruit, such as yellow peach and apricot, blend harmoniously with a pleasant freshness and a light minerality.
The finish is persistent, with a slightly spicy note that adds depth and structure. The combination of balanced acidity and softness on the palate makes this white wine ideal for both food pairings and tastings alone.
