The Sallier de la Tour winery was owned by the Tasca family cousins until 2009 and is now the fifth Sicilian winery that complements and enhances the diversity and professionalism of what is probably the most famous winery in Sicily. At Sallier de la Tour the focus is on the Grillo, Inzolia, Syrah and Nero d'Avola grape varieties. Light yellow with green reflections. In the bouquet orange zest, meadow flowers and notes of melon and herbs. Fresh and light on the palate, again fruity, with a fine almond note. A classic for light Mediterranean cuisine and mild summer evenings. SUPERIORE.DE

Exceptional red wine! Deep dark red, in the nose spices and a fine liquorice note. Impressive fruit and freshness on the palate, the subtle use of wood gives it concentration, backbone, velvety elegance and a good future. SUPERIORE.DE

"I love the spicy complexity to this nero d’avola, which is far from all about its boisterous cherries. Think tamarind, dried cumin and rosemary. Juicy and succulent on the full-bodied palate, where the tannins take on a soft, fleshy appeal, drawing in layers of exuberant blackberries and deeper accents of tar." James Suckling

On the Regaleali estate grow countless, lush roses from all over the world. This fragrant Rosato is a tribute to the roses of Regaleali. Brilliant colour, fruity with a scent of strawberries, cherries and mulberries, rich and spicy taste, fresh and pleasantly sweet. SUPERIORE.DE

"Cherry and rose with a little ice cream candy and beeswax. Extract-rich palate, good substance, solid acidity, plus some CO2 freshness and a good palate fruit. A handy, dense palate structure. Mineral notes, very good length. A taut rosé with lots of tension." Falstaff

The classic among the Sicilian red wines - as lively and fresh as the sunny island from which it comes. It presents itself bright ruby red in the glass and pampers the nose with a beautifully fruity, deep bouquet. Clear currant note and almost sweet fruit on the tongue, then on the palate the strong fruity body with silky tannins. A balanced Nero d'Avola that gives much pleasure. SUPERIORE.DE

Leone d'Almerita, a Sicilian cuvée of mainly Catarratto and Chardonnay, shows beautiful fruit and fresh almond notes and a crisp, extremely clean taste with an appealing length. SUPERIORE.DE

Ruby-red colour, appealing aroma of ripe blackberries and elderberries, quite dense on the palate, some fruit sweetness, in the elegant aftertaste of cassis. SUPERIORE.DE

"Rather dark, purple red; reductive, fruity raspberry notes; sweetness, crisp, good acidity and tannin, fine tart." Merum

"Fresh and finely knit, featuring supple tannins and bright acidity, with flavors of crushed black raspberry, rose hip, dried sage and stony mineral. Medium- to full-bodied, offering a lightly chewy, spiced finish." Wine Spectator

Bright straw yellow. Attractive bouquet of wild flowers, banana, peach and green melon. The palate is refreshed by a great acid wireein, rounded off by fruity notes and a fine salty note. SUPERIORE.DE

Cavallo delle Fate, made from the popular Grillo grape, brings a lot of joy to the trendy round table with its elegant flower and fruit fragrances, a well-integrated, never obtrusive acidity and a pleasantly fresh taste. SUPERIORE.DE

Nero d'Avola and Cabernet Sauvignon - the creative experiment of Count Tasca d'Almerita. Cygnus is a young, enchanting wine, which smells of blackberries, cherries, vanilla and tobacco and has a wonderfully smooth, grapey-sweet taste. SUPERIORE.DE

Nozze d'Oro is vinified from Inzolia and Sauvignon. Deep straw yellow with a haunting floral bouquet and notes of peach, exotic fruits and saffron. Then the harmonious taste, whose wonderful substance is carried by a perfect acidity with a fine vein of salt. SUPERIORE.DE

"Plenty of pear-drop character, orange zest and cooked apples on this white. Fruity, medium-bodied and appley." James Suckling

"This edition is labeled under the Sicilia DOC (instead of the Sicilia Contea di Sclafani subzone). No matter, this remains one of the benchmark white wines from the heart of the Mediterranean. The unoaked 2017 Sicilia Nozze d’Oro Tenuta Regaleali is a beautiful wine with a straight and linear style that hits the palate with just the right intensity and in just the right parts of the mouth. Sicilian stone fruit (like the orange fruit nespole, or loquat) and quince are followed by ash and crushed stone. The wine shows intensity and focus." Robert Parker

Fragrance of lemon, white flowers and broken stone. Desire for more. Also in the mouth the southern drop of the Etna does not disappoint. A lively acidity and a long mineral finish make this white wine a perfect food companion. Structural elegance and pure class. SUPERIORE.DE

"Pale straw-green. Honey, chamomile, eucalyptus, minerals and lemon on the complex nose. Then expresses very good freshness in the mouth nicely lifting the sweet ripe citrus and pomaceous orchard fruit flavors. Finishes long with repeating notes of sweet chamomile and hints of resin." Vinous

"The unoaked 2018 Etna Bianco Buonora is a linear and crisp expression of the Carricante grape that is native to this part of Sicily and does particularly well on Etna. The grape absorbs the direct freshness and salinity of these volcanic soils with a snappy and crisp style that is likely to take on volume and depth as the wine continues its bottle evolution. White peach and citrus are enhanced by honey, rose and a Riesling-like touch." Robert Parker
