About the Wine  

What comes to mind when you think of Sicily? Surely beautiful beaches, impressive culture, picturesque buildings, dreamy landscapes, top gastronomy. But there is something else that you must include on the list: magnificent and lovely wines!

Tasca D`Almerita is located in the splendid region of Sicily in Italy, the largest island in the Mediterranean. Its history dates back 8 generations. With more than 5 estates around the entire island, Tasca D`Almerita is one of the most important wineries in all of Sicily and Italy. Their goal is to create great wines from different terroirs. Each “Tenuta” has different and specific conditions, and the grapes are carefully selected and planted in each one.

It all started in 1830, when the Tasca family acquired almost 3,000 acres in the province of Palermo, creating Tenuta Regaleali, the first of the 5 Tenutas that are part of Tasca D`Almerita called. It is also known as "The blessed hills of Regaleali" Due to the agricultural reform in Italy in 1950, the Tenuta Regaleali was reduced to approximately 1,400 acres.

The fame and recognition of Tasca D`Almerita grew along with its vineyards, Tenutas, and wines. In 2012, the winery was named “The Winery of the Year” by the Gambero Rosso, one of the most important wine and gastronomy guides in all of Italy.

The Tasca family is not only ambitious in wine, in addition to the 5 farms where they produce high-level wines, they also own a luxury tourist complex on the island of Salina. A call for all travelers who enjoy good food, good wine, and great culture!

Since 2018, Tasca D`Almerita vineyards are managed in a sustainable way and certified by Viva and SOStain. The Tasca family is completely committed to the land and the environment. “We work every day so that our children will have a better environment than ours. Sustainability is not a random process, but a voluntary act which requires the support of science, technology, and proper organization ”.

Reviews

Aromas of white spring flowers, Mediterranean brush, citrus and tropical fruit waft out of the glass. On the tangy, totally delicious palate, bright acidity and a saline mineral vein accompany ripe honeydew, juicy orange slice, wild herb and a hint of white almond. ~93 Points, Wine Enthusiast
