“Sallier de la Tour” Nero d’Avola Sicilia DOC 2021
The Sallier de la Tour winery has been owned by the Counts Tasca since 2009, making it the fifth winery that complements and characterises the diversity and professionalism of what is probably Sicily's most famous winery. Deep dark red, spices and a fine note of liquorice on the nose. Beautiful classic fruit and freshness on the palate, the discreet use of wood gives it concentration, backbone, velvety elegance and a good future. SUPERIORE.DE
"Dark red; intense, discreetly volatile fruit, raspberries, violets, rubber, inviting; juicy, fresh fruit, finely tart, drinky, round and balanced, very pleasing." (JLF) Merum
"In the glass, the Nero d'Avola 2021 is dark and somewhat reductive. It opens with a forest-inspired blend of wild berries and peppery herbs. It is soft and enveloping with ripe red and blue fruits swirling under a hint of violet blossom. It leaves a hint of primary concentration and finishes grippy and long while retaining a lovely inner freshness. This wine has potential, but the 2021 will need cellaring to come into its own."

Brilliant colour, fruity aroma of strawberries, cherries and mulberries, rich and spicy flavour, fresh, with a certain minerality and a pleasant sapidity. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2023 Regaleali Le Rose is 100% Nerello Mascalese. It emanates a pretty blend of white strawberry, mint leaf and wet stone. This is zesty and full of energy, with brisk acidity that propels its mineral-laced orchard fruits as hints of sour green melon form toward the close. It tapers off with a salty tension that keeps the mouth watering for more as a tinge of tart lime lingers on." Vinous

"The 2023 Catarratto Buonsenso is dusty and floral yet also a bit coy, with hints of yellow apple and white flowers contrasted by a pinch of ground ginger. It opens with a bump of zesty acidity that enlivens its tart orchard fruits as saline minerals saturate toward the close.

“Mozia” Grillo Sicilia DOC 2023
The small, museum-like island of Mozia in the Marsala lagoon is a production site of unrivalled uniqueness. It is a marine ecosystem that has always been linked to the vineyard. The English, who came to Marsala at the beginning of the 19th century and recognised its great potential, initiated the first planting. The vines are cultivated naturally using the Gobelet system with natural irrigation. The grapes are harvested in crates, brought to the mainland in flat-bottomed boats and then transported to the Regaleali winery in air-conditioned lorries to guarantee their aromatic integrity.
Since 2007, when the Tasca family was entrusted by the Whitaker Foundation with the implementation of a project to promote and revitalise historic Grillo vineyards, they have been looking after 12 hectares of vineyards in Mozia. This is where the best Grillo in Sicily comes from, which is unrivalled in terms of concentration and razor-sharp precision.
Pale straw yellow in colour. Tantalising, very refined aromas of nectarine, yellow flowers, lime and mint herbs. On the palate, it is fresh, juicy and dense, with a wonderful clarity and flavours of pome fruit and white stone fruit, accompanied by a lively and harmonious acidity. Its impressive finish is long and mineral. SUPERIORE.DE
"Bright, shimmering straw yellow with a silver-green touch. Restrained, initially slightly dry on the nose, slowly opening up to yellow stone fruit and hints of garden herbs. More precise on the palate, with a soft fruit centre and beautiful freshness." Falstaff
"The 2023 Grillo Mozia is youthful and shy, yet full-bodied, revealing a delicate blend of chamomile, green melon and a hint of candied lime. A blend of savoury and sweet flavours, ripe fruits and silky textures balanced by a zesty acidity. Sweet herbal notes emerge towards the end. The wine finishes with enormous length and a salty note, while the green citrus fruit aftertaste gradually dissipates. Mozia comes from Albarello vines that grow on sandy soils at sea level or slightly below. This is one of the most characterful Grillos produced in Italy today." Vinous

“Nozze d’Oro” Bianco Sicilia DOC 2021
In 1984, Count Giuseppe Tasca d'Almerita wanted to celebrate his golden wedding anniversary with his wife Franca by creating a wine that told the family story and the history of the Tenuta at the same time. The uniqueness of the grape composition shows his romantic spirit: Inzolia and Sauvignon from the Tasca selection, the selection of a vineyard in Regaleali that dates back to the end of the First World War. The use of selected yeasts from the estate's own vineyards links this wine even more inextricably with the terroir from which it comes. Fresh in its youth, the wine has an unexpected ageing potential and balances its tertiary aromas with the intensity of the fruit.
Rich straw yellow in colour with a hauntingfloral bouquet and notes of peach, exotic fruit and saffron. Then the harmonious flavour, whose wonderful substance is carried by a perfect acidity with a fine saline vein. SUPERIORE.DE
"Pungently floral, the 2021 Nozze d'Oro burst from the glass with a blend of lemony custard and wild herbs, complemented by sweet smoke and hints of mint. It’s beautifully balanced, with silken textures and opulently ripe orchard fruits carried across a stream of brisk acidity. Saline minerals add a more tactile feel toward the close. This tapers off with a tropical air of florals and sour citrus tones—long, potent and staining yet remarkably fresh." Vinous

“Capofaro” Bianco Salina IGT 2022 dolce · in gift box
The harvested Malvasia grapes remain in shaded drying chambers for several weeks under good ventilation. Without moisture and hot sun, the grapes dry slowly and thus retain their acidity and very moderate alcohol levels. Capofaro is an impressive dessert wine that comes from vines that once belonged to the late winemaker Carlo Hauner, who made Malvasia from the island of Salina famous.
Bright golden yellow in colour. A warm bouquet of orange blossom, candied orange peel and flowers, underpinned by bright, savoury notes. Very densely packed and tightly wound, it displays a luscious mouthfeel and a tantalising sweetness that is beautifully balanced by a crisp acidity. The finish is creamy and long, with notes of botrytis and reminiscent of tropical fruit nectar. SUPERIORE.DE
"The 2022 Capofaro mixes savory and sweet with a bouquet of salty sea air, oyster shells, ripe apples and mint. This has the weight and feel of nectar yet possesses a tart citrus concentration and brilliant acidity to balance. Ripe mango combines with kiwi as a salty tinge of minerality settles in toward the close. The 2022 cleans up beautifully, leaving a confectionery resonance without being sweet or cloying. I’m ready for another sip." Vinous

“Vigna San Francesco” Chardonnay Sicilia DOC 2021
Intense golden yellow in colour, notes of banana, pineapple, candied lemon peel and candied fruit on the nose with a hint of vanilla, cinnamon and white chocolate. The flavour is fruity, very rich and dense with a balanced acidity structure and hints of ripe fruit on the finish. A wonderful Sicilian Chardonnay that perfectly combines the sophistication of the international grape variety with the charm of the Mediterranean climate. SUPERIORE.DE
"Fine creamy note with some brioche and lemon pastry to the sliced apples, minerals and green pineapple. Very fresh on the palate, with a medium body and bright, radiant acidity. Fresh, creamy finish with good length." James Suckling
"It is a juicy, savoury expression that combines hints of papaya with lime and floral notes. It shows excellent balance and a complexity of woody spices, green fruits and tropical fruits on the long finish." Decanter
"Intense, bright straw yellow with silver reflections. Fine aromas of mango, ripe pineapple, apricot and banana on the nose, with fresh brioche in the background. Fresh and juicy on the palate, slightly salty, with good drinkability and an elegant, long final." Falstaff
"The 2021 Chardonnay Vigna San Francesco opens slowly in the glass as crushed yellow apples, chamomile, tropical melon and the slightest hint of vanilla bean form its inviting bouquet. It’s silky-smooth yet lifted in feel, with a real sense of purity. Ripe orchard fruits and mineral tones swirl throughout, contrasted by hints of lemon oil and fennel. It finishes long and lightly structured, with a sour citrus tinge and an inner air of flinty stone that slowly fades. The 2021 Vigna San Francesco is pure class." Vinous
"On the nose, the tart citrus flavours are balanced by a textured undertone of salted almonds. On the palate, the fruit becomes juicier and fresher, but the roasted nuttiness asserts itself for a smoky, savoury big final. Big, round and full, even if the razor-sharp acidity and undeniable saltiness provide an invigorating freshness." Wine Enthusiast

“Vigna S. Francesco” Cabernet Sauvignon Sicilia DOC 2018
A wonderfully concentrated and elegant wine that is already drinking excellently. On the nose, the typical varietal bouquet with light balsamic notes. Pleasantly straight and fine on the palate, silky and full of harmony. SUPERIORE.DE
"Bright, elegant ruby red. In the nose precise of elderberries and cassis, noble note of green pepper and a hint of ivy, in the reverberation of cranberry jam and noble spice, multilayered. Balanced on the palate, with great play between fruit, spice and tannin, also very juicy, on anise in the finish, long and complex, very well done." Falstaff
"The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Vigna San Francesco is dusty and floral in character, with peppery herbs and wildflowers giving way to masses of crushed raspberry. This is silky and refined, communicating pure elegance from the start, with a wave of ripe red and black berries that wash across the palate, leaving fine-grained tannins to linger under an air of sweet violet and rose tones. It tapers off much fresher than anticipated, and also only lightly structured, as nuances of blueberry skin linger, along with a hint of balsam herbs." Vinous

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

The historical development of Sicily as an important wine region is inseparably linked to Tasca d'Almerita. For many years, the wines of the Tasca noble family, founded in the first half of the 19th century in the heart of the island, almost 90 kilometres southeast of Palermo in the tiny municipality of Sclafani Bagni, have been among the great classics. Viticulture on the island has not only been decisively shaped by the famous and tradition-conscious wine dynasty, but has also been advanced with great foresight. The wines from the magnificent Regaleali winery, through whose gardens the composer and dramatist Richard Wagner already strolled, are simply magnificent. The wines of Tasca d'Almerita, exported to four continents, can undoubtedly compete with other prominent names on the domestic and international wine scene.
Named Winery of the Year 2012 by the Gambero Rosso, the company, which has almost 500 hectares of vines, is now run by the ninth generation of Giuseppe and Alberto Tasca d'Almerita, who, like their father Lucio Tasca d'Almerita, who died in 2022, work with great flair and energy. It was thanks to marketing director Ignazio Miceli that the wines of the island's most beautiful winery became known worldwide. The magnificent Rosso del Conte, for example, set new standards for Sicilian red wines when it was introduced in 1970. The top wine was also one of the first drops from the island of leopards to conquer the American market. The synergies between the Tasca family, Miceli and the Palermo-born founder and chairman of the US importer Winebow Group, Leonardo LoCascio, led to Sicily's top wines shining brightly beyond the country's borders.
In addition to its headquarters, Tenuta di Regaleali, Azienda Tasca d'Almerita, which cooperates with a number of other Sicilian wineries, has four other production sites: Tascante (Etna region), Whitaker (joint venture on the west coast), Sallier de La Tour (northwest) and Capofaro (Aeolian island of Salina). Always distinguished by good ideas and careful research work and advised by the prominent OenologistCarlo Ferrini, the wine house even deserves credit for making some great wines from Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay, which convincingly reflect the typical character of Sicily, in addition to growths from autochthonous grape varieties. The family, which since the turn of the millennium has given more preference to local varieties than before with the arrival of the winemaker from Tuscany, had made the first clone selections in its vineyards and had already planted international varieties before any other wineries on the island.
The noble family, deeply rooted in Sicily, stands out from the crowd of the many Etna wineries not only with its outstanding wines, but also with its environmental projects such as SOStain and VIVA, which are committed to a more sustainable wine industry. For their pioneering spirit, Tasca d'Almerita was even awarded "European Winery of the Year" in 2019 by Wine Enthusiast magazine. This is actually the first Sicilian winery ever to receive such a prestigious award from an international trade magazine.
The Tasca d'Almerita winery is one of the 24 wineries worldwide to be awarded the "Robert Parker Green Emblem" in 2021. This certification is awarded by one of the most important international wine critics' media: Robert Parker's "Wine Advocate". This rare distinction is only awarded to producers who are committed to sustainability, long-term environmental protection and biodiversity. Once a winery has received the award, all of its wines will bear the coveted "Robert Parker Green Emblem". SUPERIORE.DE
"The only estate on the island, the house of the Counts Tasca deserves to be compared to a great Bordeaux château ... Remarkable the average quality of the label spectrum." Gambero Rosso
"Alberto Tasca d'Almerita created SOStain and is president of the foundation today with other like-minded Sicilian vintners who serve on the board of directors. Alberto was one of the first Italian producers to embrace the VIVA Sustainable Wine project developed by the Italian Ministry for the Environment and Protection of Land and Sea to promote better winegrowing practices."
