Host of numerous literary references (notably Edgar Allen Poe and Isak Dinesen), Amontillado historically characterized the wine style of the Andalusian town of Montilla. Today it typifies a fino sherry that is matured on flor yeasts for some years, fortified to 16% alc. prior to extended oxidation through American casks, resulting in a wine of dark, rich complexity.
