Tasting Note

The 2017 Sicilia Chardonnay Vigna San Francesco Tenuta Regaleali (with 40,000 bottles made) is rich with candied orange and pistachio cream. This is a full-bodied white with pretty accents of Sicilian wide-leaf oregano and rosemary that give extra lift and energy to the bouquet. Compared to the other full-bodied Chardonnays from Sicily (samples from Planeta and Tenuta Rapitalà were in this same flight), this wine is slightly more defined by citrus and mountain herbs. It is less overtly opulent. The quality is excellent across the board on all these wines, but each boasts a distinct personality.

Tasca D'Almerita

For eight generations, the Tasca d’Almerita family has been devoted to Sicily, its land, its unique nature and its surprising and inimitable resources. Their story began in 1830 with the purchase of Tenuta Regaleali, a green oasis spanning nearly 550 hectares in the center of the island where 8 generations have fostered the past, present and future of Sicilian winemaking. Regaleali is an unpredictable and breathtaking place, even for the experienced traveler. Luscious hills roll endlessly in several shades of green, with vineyards unlike any other in the world. “Nordic” features in the deep south, like the perceptible diurnal temperature excursions between day and night, the mountainous context, and the quality of the light render this place a winemaking paradise. A mosaic of exposures, mixed soils and elevations create a proper outdoor viticulture laboratory where 25 red and white varietals are planted across 382 hectares of vines.
