Montilla
Excepting
for true wine aficionados - who recognize these regional wines
for their authentic history and character - Montilla may be one
of Spain's best kept secrets.
Often overshadowed
by the nearby Sherry
region in Andalucia, it was in Montilla that amontillado"
(meaning in the style of Montilla) was first invented
with a technique for drying grapes in the hot sun, which resulted
in rich, intensely sweet wines.
For those
in the know, Montilla remains the place to seek out the "real
thing" at bargain prices, as opposed to those offered by
their more famous neighbors next door...
