About the Producer

Tasca D'Almerita has a rich history dating back to 1830 on the Regaleali Estate, which has become the symbol of wine-making excellence in Sicily: 200 years of history, all with “slow maturation.” With a focus on traditional values and traditions, the winery has expanded over time to cover 550 hectares. Five different estates scattered throughout Sicily were subsequently added. These estates include the Tascante estate on the slopes of Mount Etna, the Capofaro Estate on the hills of the Aeolian island of Salina, the Sallier de La Tour estate in Camporeale, and the Whitaker Estate on the Phoenician island of Mozia.

The Tasca family has always been dedicated to wine production, and they view it not only as a business success but as an ethical and environmentally sustainable pursuit. Their goal is to produce wine with the lowest possible environmental impact and preserve each ecosystem for future generations. The production of wine takes place on the different estates throughout Sicily, where vineyards are dedicated to producing Malvasia, Nerello Mascalese, Syrah, Grillo, Chardonnay, and Cabernet di Sicilia. Grillo has received particular recognition as one of the most outstanding wine varieties in the world, earning the prestigious 'Cantina dell'anno 2012' award from Gambero Rosso's 'Vini d'Italia' guide. The winery's constant attention to preserving the environment and its millenary traditions has led to its continued success and expansion.

Vineyard

In 1830 the Tasca brothers purchased Tenuta Regaleali, a green oasis in the centre of Sicily in the county of Sclafani. The Regaleali estate spans nearly 600 hectares, with 12 types of soils and six hills between 450 and 850 above msl. It can be understood as an island unto itself, a unique land deserving of precise study. All wines come from a single vineyard or multiple vineyards but always within the same estate. The grapes are cultivated in the high hills, up to 900 meters of altitude and the yield is of about 7 tons per hectare.

Vinification

Crushing, de-stemming, soft pressing and static settling. The clear must is then fermented at a temperature of between 14-16°C for about 15 days.

Ageing

At the end of the alcoholic fermentation, no malolactic fermentation takes place. The wine is allowed to the rest on the lees for about 3 months before being racked, stabilized and then bottled.

Tasting Notes

Tasca d'Almerita Leone is brilliant, straw yellow in colour with clear greenish reflections, the nose expresses a broad and varied olfactory spectrum: grapefruit, white peach, green apple, pineapple and citrus fruits in general. The palate is fresh, pleasantly soft, rich, intense and fragrant. It closes with a pleasant sensation of sweet, ripe fruit.
