Tasca Tenuta Regaleali Le Rosé demonstrates how refined Sicilian rosé can be when freshness, precision, and origin are central. At Tenuta Regaleali, Tasca d’Almerita has been working with Nerello Mascalese for rosé since the 1970s, giving this wine a permanent place within the estate. The name Le Rosé refers not only to the floral character of the wine but also to the roses that have been cultivated on the estate for many years.
Le Rosé comes from Tenuta Regaleali, Tasca d’Almerita's historical estate in Sicily.
- Origin: The wine comes from Tenuta Regaleali, an estate known for its focus on terroir, precision, and sustainable viticulture.
- Classification: The wine falls under Terre Siciliane IGT, an appellation that allows for a pure and contemporary interpretation of Sicilian rosé.
- Yield: With 66 quintals per hectare, the yield remains controlled, helping to maintain tension and fruit concentration in the wine.
This managed yield gives this rosé more depth and length than a purely light-footed summer style.
The vinification is entirely focused on freshness, finesse, and a pure profile.
- Fermentation: Alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at 14 °C and lasts an average of 15 days, ensuring the fruit remains bright and precise.
- Malolactic fermentation: Partial malolactic fermentation gives the wine a little more softness on the palate without losing its fresh character.
- Aging: After fermentation, the wine ages for another 3 months in stainless steel, keeping the style crisp, pure, and fruit-driven.
Wood aging was deliberately avoided here, so that the tension and elegance of the rosé are fully preserved.

The estate is B Corp certified, affiliated with Sostain, and is considered one of the Sicilian producers that convincingly merge tradition and modern precision.
