2020 | Feudo Maccari | Family And Friends

Dense golden yellow. Rich and intense aromas, with notes of orange blossom, acacia honey, citrus, balsamic herbs and delicate nuances of vanilla and sweet spices. Rich, soft, dense and deep flavour, with a pleasant fresh and savoury evolution.

Reviews:

• Vinous: The 2020 Friends and Family is a varietal Grillo with a sweetly inviting bouquet of candied lime, fresh mint and wet stone. This is silky-smooth, weighty even, yet very nicely balanced by lifting acidity, with ripe orchard fruits complemented by an almondy richness. For all of its extroverted character, the 2020 finishes fresh with pretty inner florals that linger. Feudo Maccari did a wonderful job of communicating total elegance here.

• James Suckling: A seriously concentrated and very silky Sicilian dry white that is unashamedly inspired by Grand Cru white Burgundy. Wonderful bouquet of citrus blossoms with just a hint of vanilla. Mouth-filling yet graceful on the palate, the long and complex mineral finish beautifully supported by just a touch of oak tannin. From organically grown grapes.

Producer Information

Feudo Maccari is an Italian wine producer located on the island of Sicily. Maccari produces a collection of wines sourced from native Sicilian varieties like Grillo and Nero d'Avola as well as some international varieties from vines ranging from 30 to 60 years old. The 50 hectare (123 acre) estate is located on the southern tip of the island. Here, cool prevailling winds from the Mediterranean help to moderate the hot climate. There are 50 separate plots of vineyard land on south-facing hillsides near the town of Noto. The Olli and Family and Friends are sourced from here which are two white wines of the same vineyard, aged in steel and oak barrels respectively. The second estate, Contrada Santo Spirito di Passopisciaro is a 14ha (34.5 acre) further inland where an altitude of 700 meters (2296 feet) above sea level provides an ideal microclimate for viticulture. A significant diurnal temperature variation between day and night allows for grapes to ripen to full phenolic maturity without compromising acidity. A duo of Animardente Etna Rosso and Bianco DOC are sourced from this estate. The estate was established in 2000 by Antonio Moretti, who also owns the Tuscan estates Tenuta Sette Ponti and Poggio al Lupo.
