{"title":"Tasca Regaleali","description":"\u003ch1\u003e Buy or order Tasca Regaleali wine\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\n Sicilian wine lovers, take note! Tasca Regaleali has reigned supreme on this island for 100 years. For over a century, they've been producing the finest Sicilian wines. And they don't plan on stopping anytime soon. Anyone who tastes a glass of Tasca Regaleali wine will immediately discover this: depth and complexity, with a sense of tradition. That's what makes us happy.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e The Italian wines of Sicily\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n A truly iconic winery located on the largest island in the Mediterranean. We travel from the Italian mainland, from the province of Calabria, by ferry to Sicily. This vast island is a melting pot of many styles. This is partly due to the peoples who have lived here and left their mark on the island. Think of the Byzantines, the Moors, and the Arabs. This makes Sicily a truly special island.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nAs part of Italy, it's inevitable that Sicily also produces wine. This has been the case for centuries, with the exception of the Arab period. However, Sicilian wines were not very successful: dull and flat, and geared towards mass-market wines. However, in the past thirty years, a shift has taken place, and Sicilian wines are more popular than ever! This is partly thanks to leading wineries like Tasca Regaleali, which have made a significant effort to develop Sicilian wines.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e The vineyards of Tasca Regaleali\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n Tasca Regaleali is located near Palermo, the capital of Sicily. The estate is enormous: a whopping 500 hectares, over 60% of which has been adapted with grape varieties. The location is perfect, with the vines growing at altitudes of up to 500 meters. The Mediterranean influence is therefore particularly noticeable at night, when the vineyards can cool considerably.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nTasca Regaleali remains a family business. And the family has never stood still. In 1985, for example, they were among the first to plant international grape varieties: Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon. With these, they amazed both friends and foes. Tasca Cabernet Sauvignon remains the crown jewel of the Tasca Regaleali cellars.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e The beautiful Tasca Regaleali wines\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n But the true strength of Tasca Regaleali lies in its local varietals and wines. Indigenous varieties like Nero D'Avola, Inzolia, Grilo, Cataratto, and Nerello Mascalese have built an excellent reputation among international wine drinkers. This is partly due to the efforts of the family behind Tasca Regaleali. They produce excellent wines that perfectly capture the power of Sicily in a single, delicious bottle. Just look at Tasca Regaleali Bianco Sicilia: white, indigenous grape varieties, perfectly blended into what could be your new favorite wine.","products":[{"product_id":"tasca-regaleali-bianco-sicilia","title":"Tasca Regaleali Bianco Sicilia","description":"Close your eyes and sip this wine, and you'll feel transported to warm Sicily, its beautiful aroma and rich flavor a true gem.

The Regaleali Estate has gained international acclaim and has put the spotlight on Sicily's underrated ability to create meaningful and critically important wines.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Wine growing in the dry hills of Sicily\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nThe Regaleali vineyards are nestled in the heart of the Sicilian hills. At first, you might expect a dry environment, but nothing could be further from the truth. The estate covers 500 hectares, with 320 hectares reserved for vines. A unique irrigation system provides the essential water. This is the only way grapes can be grown here. This success is partly due to the altitude of the vineyards. Nights don't cool down by the sea, while high in the mountains it's a completely different story. At an altitude of 450 to 700 meters above sea level, the nighttime temperatures are pleasantly cool. This allows the grapes to develop distinctive fruity aromas.\n\n\n \nThe Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are sourced from hills at an altitude of 600 meters. The low yields give the wine exceptional power and concentration. After hand-harvesting, fermentation takes place on the skins for two weeks, giving the wine its strength and dark red color. This is followed by 12 months of oak aging.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The aroma and taste of Tasca Cabernet Sauvignon\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\n This Cabernet Sauvignon has an intense red color with garnet reflections in the glass. The aroma is full and powerful, with a bouquet of southern spices, oak like cedar, and abundant cassis. But also, tobacco and bay leaf. The flavor of this Cabernet Sauvignon Tasca d'Almerita is complex and full-bodied—we could even call it a powerful wine! Impressions of fig, plum, black fruit, cedar, vanilla, and spices like cinnamon and bay leaf.

So rich and concentrated, it's truly incredible. Because this Rosso del Conte Tasca d'Almerita has matured for a very long time in oak barrels, it has fully developed. The entire harvest was hand-harvested and comes from a very special vineyard, where the conditions are absolutely fantastic for Nero d'Avola.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The beginning of the Tasca d'Almerita winery\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nThe island of Sicily is home to the Tasca d'Almerita family estates: Regaleali, Capofaro, and Whitaker. The Regaleali estate is the heart of the family's wine production. The Rosso del Conte, the first single-vineyard wine made in Sicily when it was first released in 1970, was designed as the estate's flagship wine by Count Giuseppe Tasca's creator and paved the way for today's sought-after premium Sicilian red wines. Made with only the finest Nero d'Avola, Perricone, and rare local varietals from the San Lucio vineyard, the wine spends 18 months aging in new French oak, followed by a minimum of six months of bottle ageing before release.\n\n\n \nSituated in the heart of Sicily, in the rolling hills of the lower Madonie Mountains, the Regaleali estate has been linked to the Tasca name since it was purchased in 1830 by brothers Lucio and Carmelo Mastrogiovanni Tasca. These two innovators sought to modernize and revitalize the farm by bringing advanced agricultural technology and new methods to the isolated Sicilian countryside. Today, the family continues this progressive philosophy by focusing on sustainable viticultural practices and experimenting with lesser-known indigenous grape varieties, such as the Perricone used in this exquisite blend.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The complex taste of Tasca Rosso del Conte\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nThe aroma reveals notes of black fruit like cherries, blackberries, and currants, as well as hints of spices, dried fruit, and figs. The complex flavor takes a while to unfold, so we recommend decanting this wine about two hours beforehand. Afterward, you'll be overwhelmed with notes of raisins, black fruit, vanilla, licorice, spices, and wood. Believe us, it's so beautiful!","brand":"Vinites","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775770988623,"sku":"7502","price":59.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/rosso-del-conte-tasca-d-almerita_7502.webp?v=1770110466"},{"product_id":"tenuta-capofaro-didyme-malvasia","title":"Tenuta Capofaro Didyme Malvasia","description":"A unique masterpiece is this Didyme from Tasca, made exclusively from Malvasia grapes grown in warm Sicily. Originally a grape often used for sweet white wines, this dry white wine is so unique. The grape first saw the light of day in Greece and is now more widely available in countries like Italy. Tasca's winemaker loves this white Malvasia and creates the Didyme wine with great passion. And it shows; the aroma and flavor are full of passion, making it one of our favorites from Tasca. Robert Parker also loved this wine, awarding it an impressive 91 points in his career.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The old vineyard of Didyme\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nAs we mentioned, this white Didyme is made from Malvasia grapes grown in sunny Sicily. In the old vineyard, harvesting is a precise process. If the grapes ripen too long, they develop too much sugar, so the harvest for this Didyme is brought in very early. Harvesting the Malvasia grapes begins in the middle of the night. This is done to allow the grapes to rest and minimize damage during transport.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e What does Tasca Didyme taste like?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nThis Malvasia grape grows in a warm climate, perfectly suited to Sicily. But they also receive plenty of coolness from the sea breeze and nighttime temperatures, which is essential for making a refreshing wine from this grape. The aroma is a very lively white wine, with intense notes of flowers, apricots, yellow plums, and wax. But above all, it's intense and powerful, which makes it truly special. The ripe notes continue on the palate, crisp and dry with aromas of ripe pear, yellow plums, and lovely acidity. A powerful dry white wine that pairs wonderfully with shrimp, vitello tonato, and risotto, among other dishes. But don't forget shellfish and crustaceans, as this Didyme wine also pairs perfectly with them.","brand":"Vinites","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775770366031,"sku":"7503","price":29.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/didyme-malvasia-tasca-d-almerita_7503.webp?v=1770110605"},{"product_id":"sallier-de-la-tour-syrah-sicilia","title":"Sallier de La Tour Syrah Sicilia","description":"Sallier de La Tour Syrah is a highly aromatic wine produced by one of Sicily's most renowned wineries.
