200 years of history, all with “slow maturation.” Tenuta Regaleali, the mother estate comprises of 550 hectares in the heart of Sicily and property of the Tasca d’Almerita family since 1830, started with a precise aim to enhance native grape varieties and territories of the highest potential for wine-growing. Over the years another four estates were added:
Capofaro on Salina, Tascante on Etna, the historic Tenuta Whitaker on the ancient island of Mozia, and Sallier de La Tour in Monreale.
This wine is produced from selected Nero d’Avola vineyards in the heart of the island, using restricted yields for extra concentration. The wine has undergone a traditional fermentation in stainless steel tanks with ten days maceration. The wine was aged for six months, 50% in stainless steel tanks, the remainder in Slavonian oak barrels.
Notes of dark red fruit with vanilla and sage on the nose, velvety and balanced in the mouth. An excellent Nero d’Avola, medium bodied that punches above it’s weight.
