Tasca d'Almerita

The Sallier de la Tour winery has been owned by the Counts Tasca since 2009 and is thus the fifth winery to complement and make up the diversity and professionalism of what is probably Sicily's most famous winery. At Sallier de la Tour, the focus is on the grape varieties Grillo, Inzolia, Syrah and Nero d'Avola.

Light yellow with green reflections. On the nose, orange zest, meadow flowers and notes of melon and herbs. Fresh and light on the palate, again fruity, joined by a fine almond note. A classic for light Mediterranean cuisine and warm summer evenings. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2021 Inzolia is sweetly scented but also finessed and floral, with a dusting of confectioners’ sugar and spice that gives way to ripe pear and hints of cardamom. This rushes the palate with soft textures, yet quickly takes on a reverberation of spicy green citrus, as nuances of tropical melon form toward the close. A salty flourish defines the finale, as the 2021 tapers off wickedly fresh and squeaky-clean, while leaving the mouth watering for more." Vinous

"This has aromas of waxed lemons, jasmine, white tea and apricot stones. Light to medium body with bright acidity and a waxy, lemony palate. Crisp and very fresh." James Suckling

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

Perfect Sicilian white wine with bestseller status: light and of excellent balance with very delicate acidity. straw yellowcolour, the aromas delicate and fruity, with light notes of apple and banana. Pleasant, clean taste reminiscent of ripe fruit. SUPERIORE.DE

"The sweetly-scented 2021 Bianco Regaleali is remarkably pretty, with white flowers giving way to ripe peaches, candied citrus and hints of wet stone. There are unexpected depths within, as soft textural orchard fruits cascade across a core of zesty acidity and salty minerals. A pleasant balance of sweet and sour keeps the expression wildly fresh, as the 2021 fades with sapid citrus tones and a hint of young mango." Vinous

The classic among the Sicilian red wines - lively and fresh like the sunny island from which it comes. Bright ruby red in the glass, it spoils the nose with a beautifully fruity, deep bouquet. Clear currant notes and almost sweet fruit on the tongue, then on the palate the strong fruity body with silky tannins. A well-balanced Nero d'Avola that gives a lot of pleasure. SUPERIORE.DE

Tascas Perricone in bright ruby, with hints of red berries, blackberries, cherries and spices, tastes fresh and lively. final with a fine minerality and a hint of nuts, very long and complex on the finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Blackberries and dark plums with some peach. Walnuts and light asphalt, too. Medium-bodied with round, creamy tannins and a flavorful finish. I like the black-truffle and dark-bark undertones at the end." James Suckling

Ruby red colour, appealing, slightly reductive aroma of ripe blackberries and elderberries, quite dense on the palate, some fruit sweetness, good harmony between acidity and tannin, traces of cassis in the elegant finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Rich ruby red with a black core. Discreet aromas of prunes, dates, some rum, malt coffee and tangerine peel. Opens juicy with fine fruity nuances, medium-bodied, tightly meshed youthful tannins, lively on the palate, persistent." Falstaff

"The 2019 Nero d'Avola Lamùri is remarkably pretty, presenting a dusty display of crushed violet candies and blackberries contrasted by hints of smoke and white pepper. It’s silky in texture and quite elegant, washing across the palate with pure black and hints of blue fruits, while gaining a more tactile feel toward the close as hints of sweet tannins slowly saturate. Notes of salted licorice linger, giving way to a subtle twang of spiced citrus as this tapers off lightly structured." Vinous

"Here's a classic expression of Sicily's number one indigenous grape. The Tasca Conti d'Almerita 2019 Sicilia Nero d’Avola Lamùri Tenuta Regaleali offers plenty of dark fruit intensity and toasted pistachio nut, wild fennel and scorched earth. This is your quintessential pasta and meat ragù wine, thanks to its freshness and accessible style." Robert Parker

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

"Restrained zesty aromas, slightly tropical on the nose. Well-concentrated with a light spritz, refreshing acidity." Decanter

"The 2021 Blend Leone lifts from the glass with an airy yet confectionary mix of vanilla custards, white flowers and crushed apples. It’s silky and lifted in feel, with a lovely blend of zesty acids and mineral tones that maintains freshness. This finishes a bit short, while leaving a green citrus tinge upon the palate. Don't overthink this zesty blend, simply enjoy." Vinous

"This has a fruity nose of white peaches, pears, chopped apples and white flowers. Lemon pith, too. It's medium-bodied with crisp acidity and a compact, fruity finish." James Suckling

Cavallo delle Fate, made from the popular Grillo grape, brings much joy to the trendy dinner table with elegant floral and fruity scents, a well-integrated, never intrusive acidity and a pleasantly fresh taste. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2021 Grillo Cavallo delle Fate bursts from the glass with a flinty mix of crushed limestones, lime zests and hints of gingery spice. This is silky and pliant with brilliant acidity that enlivens its ripe orchard fruits while also creating a savory, almost-salty tension toward the close. The Cavallo delle Fate finishes with an herbal twang, yet is refreshing and crisp." Vinous

"An inviting nose of peaches, fresh flowers and orange peel. Medium-bodied with driving acidity. Citrus character to the palate, with a hint of ground spice adding subtle complexity. Refreshing tannins at the finish." James Suckling

Nero d'Avola and Cabernet Sauvignon - the creative 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

Scent of lemon, white blossoms and quarry. It makes you want more. The southern drop from Etna does not disappoint in the mouth either. A lively acidity and a long mineral finish make this white a perfect food companion. Structure, elegance and pure white class from Etna. SUPERIORE.DE

"Delicately shimmering pale yellow with a silver touch. Aroma of fresh lime zest, crisp green apple, lemon balm blossom in the background. Juicy, shows perky play, taut, shows itself quite light in weight, brisk in the drink, lots of tension in the finish, ends on salt lemon." Falstaff

"Flinty, floral and wickedly fresh, the 2020 Etna Bianco Buonora shows dusty dried flowers, incense, ginger and a balancing note of raw honey. It's soft-textured and pliant, balanced by an almost salty savoriness, as orchard fruits and herbal tones wash across the palate. Hints of crushed almond and pear linger through the mouthwatering finale as this remarkably pretty Carricante tapers off with tension. A pretty wine and a great value as well." Vinous

"Aromas of apricots, crushed stones, waxed lemon, grapefruit and floral tea. It's medium-bodied with bright acidity. Juicy and deliciously layered. Fruit and citrus evolve to mineral and saline notes. So fresh." James Suckling

"Boasting handsome forest-green packaging, the Tenuta Tascante 2020 Etna Bianco Buonora reveals a lean, almost transparent appearance with a dim spot of golden sunlight. The wine puts big emphasis on its mineral side with gorgeous definition and sharp tones of crushed oyster shell and aspirin, followed by faintly fruity and citrusy tones. In fact, more than fruit, the bouquet veers toward white flowers and jasmine, with a hint of white pepper. I love this minimalist, elegant style from Etna, and it should be interesting to see how this fleshes out with time. At the moment, it would make a great aperitivo with delicate crab cakes." Robert Parker

Ghiaia, a single varietal Nerello Mascalese from the slopes of Etna, exudes sweet aromas of cherries and flowers. A refined, very detailed and seductive wine with great charm, character and personality. SUPERIORE.DE

"Packaged with a bright red label, the Tenuta Tascante 2018 Etna Rosso Ghiaia Nera offers an accurate portrayal of the native Sicilian grape, Nerello Mascalese. The wine pours forth to a medium ruby color and a lean consistency from a cool and humid vintage. The bouquet offers delicate berry aromas with bitter almond and even a touch of fried cannoli pastry crust. The wine is streamlined but persistent. Serve it with mini veggie pizzette for lunch." Robert Parker

In 1984, Count Giuseppe Tasca d'Almerita wanted to celebrate the golden wedding anniversary with his wife Franca by creating a wine that told the family story and at the same time the story of the Tenuta. The uniqueness of the grape composition shows his romantic spirit: Inzolia and Sauvignon of 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 to the terroir from which it comes. Fresh in its youth, the wine is unexpectedly age-worthy, balancing its tertiary aromas with the intensity of the fruit.

Rich straw yellow with a hauntingfloral bouquet, plus notes of peach, exotic fruits and saffron. Then the harmonious taste, whose delightful substance is carried by a perfect acidity with a fine saline vein. SUPERIORE.DE

The name of this fresh and aromatic Malvasia is dedicated to the former owner Paola Lantieri, who cultivated the 4.5 ha vineyard with great dedication. The vines grow on mineral soils of ash, fine brown sand, pumice and silicates.

On the fresh bouquet, spicy yellow flowers, lime zest, nectarines and crushed stones. In the drink we find an attractive bouquet of ripe orchard fruits, tropical citrus fruits and a cooling minerality. The long and very delicious final is accompanied by kiwi and sage - very successful! SUPERIORE.DE

"Fresh lemon, white pear, citrus blossom and sea salt on the nose. It’s medium-bodied with fresh acidity and saline undertones. Clean and focused." James Suckling

"This dry white has enticing aromas of white spring flowers, citrus and white yellow stone fruit. Made with Malvasia and grown on the island of Vulcano, the crisp, savory palate offers ripe apricot, pear, lemon and Mediterranean herbs. It closes on a tangy saline note." Wine Enthusiast

"This is the second of two dry Malvasia wines made by the Tasca family on the island of Salina. The Tenuta Capofaro 2020 Malvasia Vigna di Paola is the more "Aeolian" of the two, with aromas and flavors that are all directly linked to the wide blue sea that surrounds these beautiful islands. In the case of this wine, fruit is sourced from a 4.5-hectare plot heavy in pumice stone and sandy soils with tufa and sulfur. As a result, expect Vigna di Paola to show greater precision, sharpness and cool mineral freshness. This is an exciting new addition to this portfolio." Robert Parker

"The 2020 Malvasia Vigna di Paola mixes exotic florals and tropical fruits with a whiff of crushed stone to create a seductive bouquet. It’s round and almost glycerol-like in texture, lifted by bright acidity and an initial burst of lime before giving way to notes of ripe mango, peach and almond. For all of its richness, this tapers off remarkably fresh and literally buzzing with residual energy, as a sweet-and-sour display of citrus gives way to a hint of custard. Simply stunning. Enjoyable as it is today, the Vigna di Paola should also excel over medium-term cellaring." Vinous

Didyme, named after the ancient name of the island of Salina, is a single-varietal Malvasia. Light straw yellow. Bouquet of herbs, bright flowers, apple and some nutmeg. Juicy fruit, carried by a nice, fresh acidity, a mineral-salty note in the powerful finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"A pure expression of Malvasia, the Tenuta Capofaro 2020 Malvasia Didyme is the more "Sicilian" of these two dry expressions of the grape made by the Tasca family. By that I mean the wine is more exuberant and Baroque in personality with lifted aromas of sweet orange blossom, candied fruit and a touch of wild sage or salty sea breeze." Robert Parker

"Aromas of elderflower, citrus and yellow stone fruit mingle with a whiff of wet rock. Reflecting the nose, the tangy palate offers grapefruit, ripe apricot and saline alongside fresh acidity." Wine Enthusiast

"Pungently fresh wild flowers and ginger lift up from the 2020 Malvasia Didyme, nicely contrasted by an enriching note of brown spice. This is silky and enveloping, matched by a pleasant inner sweetness yet still completely fresh and balanced, with ripe orchard fruits and minerals giving way to pretty inner florals. There’s a lingering salty element mingling with the tropical citrus notes that resonate through the finale, and this keeps me coming back to the glass again and again. The 2020 is a beautiful rendition of Didyme." Vinous

"Aromas of apples, lemons, beeswax, thyme, white pepper and acacia honey. It’s medium-to full-bodied with fresh acidity. Layered, mineral and complex. Flavorful and long." James Suckling

The small, museum-like island of Mozia in the Marsala lagoon is a production site of unparalleled 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 sensed the great potential there, initiated the first planting. The vines are raised naturally according to the Gobelet system with natural irrigation. The grapes are harvested in crates, brought to the mainland in shallow boats and then reach the Regaleali winery in air-conditioned trucks to guarantee their aromatic integrity.

Since 2007, when the Tasca family was entrusted by the Whitaker Foundation with the implementation of a project for the promotion and revitalisation of historic Grillo vineyards, they have taken care of 12 hectares of vines on Mozia. From here comes arguably the best Grillo in Sicily, unparalleled in concentration and razor-sharp precision.

Light straw yellow. Enticing, very refined aromas of nectarine, yellow flowers, lime and mint herbs. Then fresh, juicy and dense, with wonderful clarity and the flavour of aromas such as pome fruit and white stone fruit and a lively, harmonious acidity. Its impressive finish is long and mineral. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2021 Grillo Mozia is spicy yet refined, wafting up from the glass with dusty dried flowers, hints of peach skins and ground ginger. It’s round in feel with a core of green-citrus tinged acidity and saline-mineral tones that add a reverberation of cheek-puckering tension. Notes of tart Granny Smith apples and lime zest linger long, keeping the Grillo Mozia seated firmly in the green fruit profile, while leaving the palate thirsting for more. Very nice." Vinous

"A tangy and bright grillo with lemon-rind, pear-skin and light apricot flavors. Some minerally undertones. Medium-bodied with a solid core of fruit and a flavorful finish." James Suckling

With elegance and finesse, the golden yellow Diamante d'Almerita exudes its scent of citrus and lavender, while its taste is sweet yet never overbearing. Very attractive dessert wine! SUPERIORE.DE

The harvested Malvasia grapes stay for a few weeks under good ventilation in shady drying chambers. Without humidity 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. A warm bouquet of orange blossom, candied orange peel and flowers underpinned by bright, salty notes. Very tightly packed and tightly wound, it displays a lush mouthfeel and an enticing sweetness that is nicely offset by a penetrating acidity. The finish is creamy and long, with notes of botrytis and reminiscent of tropical fruit nectar. SUPERIORE.DE

"Medium dense bright golden yellow with lemon yellow accents. Opens on the nose to delicate spruce shoots, blossom honey and nutmeg, also discreetly of dried mango. Lively on the palate, showing nice tension with crisp acidity, subtle spice notes paired with exotic fruit, very layered, comes back juicy on the final." Falstaff

"The finely chiselled bouquet of the steel-aged Passito combines notes of dried apricots with peach and citrus fruit aromas, delicately spicy; polished in the mouth, perfectly balanced between the acidity and the sweetness, elegant and long. A pleasure with pasticceria or on its own." Vinum

"Crisp, dry and thoroughly delicious, this fragrant white from the island of Salina opens with heady scents of yellow stone fruit, citrus, white rose and Mediterranean brush. Tangy and vibrant, the savory palate doles out yellow peach, apricot, Meyer lemon and briny notes of saline." Wine Enthusiast

"This is always such a fun and cheerful wine to enjoy at the end of an outdoor meal with an evening seascape somewhere in the distance. The Tenuta Capofaro 2019 Tenuta Capofaro (in a 500-milliliter bottle) is made with air-dried fruit (the appassimento process takes place on the island of Salina in a special fruttaio room for air-drying with controlled temperatures, but the Tasca team makes this wine at their home-base winery on Sicily; for that reason, this wine is identified with the IGT Salina appellation). As you might expect, winemaking is impeccable, and the aromas are clear and concise with fresh peach, minty apple and Sicilian night-blooming jasmine. The wine is full and elegant but graceful all the while with a crisp and polished mouthfeel." Robert Parker

Intense golden yellow, on the nose notes of banana, pineapple, candied fruits and a hint of vanilla, cinnamon and white chocolate. Fruity on the palate, very rich and dense with a balanced acidity structure, tones of ripe fruit in the finish. A wonderful Sicilian Chardonnay that perfectly combines the refinement of the international grape variety with the charm of the Mediterranean climate. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2019 Chardonnay Vigna San Francesco is luxuriously rich while painting within the lines of refinement, as gingery spice, crushed oyster shells, Italian buttercream and citrus-tinged pear form its seductive bouquet. This communicates a sense of opulence, but also harmony on the palate, casting silky, medium-weight textures across the senses, with mineral-tinged orchard fruits and pretty inner florals that cascade throughout. There’s a sweet and sour interplay that lingers through the finale, as zesty green citrus and hints of Granny Smith apple slowly fade. There is simply so much pleasure to be had from this immaculately balanced Sicilian Chardonnay." Vinous

Nero d'Avola and Cabernet Sauvignon - the creative 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

"Lightly fruity with fresh blackcurrants, sage and thyme. Plenty of creme-de-cassis flavors are finely wrapped in succulent tannins on the medium-bodied palate, and that makes for attractive drinking now." James Suckling

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

"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

Ruby red, with a fine cherry scent, in which there are also hints of nuts and forest fruits, vanilla, cinnamon, sage and tobacco. Concentrated, rich flavour with harmonious tannins and a long finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Impenetrable, almost black crimson. Leafy, dark fruit and hint of tomato stalk and black olive. The merest suggestion of oak. Ripe dark fruit that is still very young. Still hints of malolactic and with a load of bitter-sweet tannins. Very long and characterful with a hint of black olives and quite elegant palate weight. Complex." Jancis Robinson

"Bright red. Very perfumed red cherry, spicy strawberry, violet, and cinnamon on the almost aromatic, very floral nose. Ripe and suave, with a graceful mouth-feel and a long, clean mineral aftertaste which features pretty repeating floral notes. Less powerful than the 2010 but currently showing better balance and amazing grace. Lovely wine." Vinous

"A red with dried-plum and sour-cherry character. Hints of lemons, too. Medium to full body, soft tannins and a savory finish. Solid wine. A standard-bearer." James Suckling

"The venerated 2012 Sicilia Contea di Sclafani Rosso del Conte Tenuta Regaleali is a blend of 41% Nero d'Avola, 31% Perricone and the rest is a mix of various red grapes found on the Regaleali estate. Interestingly, past editions of this wine were reported as all Nero d'Avola but the blending formula seems to have gotten more complex with each passing vintage. This is a big boned wine with thick extraction and a long-lasting build. In fact, this bottle should go into the cellar for a few more years to better integrate and soften. The finish offers coffee, tar, licorice, dried fruit, blackberry preserves and much more. Rosso del Conte shows profound complexity." Robert Parker

Ruby red, with a fine cherry scent, in which there are also hints of nuts and wild berries, vanilla, cinnamon, sage and tobacco. Concentrated, rich flavour with harmonious tannins and a long, velvety final. SUPERIORE.DE

"Rich, sparkling ruby with a slight violet shimmer. Multi-layered nose, rich notes of ripe plums, some blueberries, cedar and resin in the background. Juicy and round on the palate, spreads out with powerful, well-integrated tannin, describes a wide arc, firm pressure, long and firm." Falstaff

"Deep crimson. Deep, minty nose with cardamom pod, dark fruit and black-pepper notes and hints of dark earth. I suspect this was aged in chestnut casks. With aeration, increasingly multilayered and growing in stature. Hedonistic dark fruit and finely chiselled tannins on the palate. Very long, generous and complex, but in order for this wine to show its real potential I would put it away for at least five yeas. You don't immediately see it but the bottle has a beautiful shape." Jancis Robinson

"Scorched soil, leather, mature black-skinned fruit and Mediterranean scrub are just some of the aromas you'll find on this blend of Nero d'Avola and Perricone. The enveloping, full-bodied palate delivers ripe blackberry, black cherry, black spice and dried herb alongside firm, fine-grained tannins." Wine Enthusiast

"Good dark red. Ripe, vibrant nose offers kirsch, coffee, chocolate and a whiff of black pepper. At once silky-sweet and tangy, with lovely inner-mouth perfume to the fine-grained red/black fruit flavors. Finishes broad, very smooth and long, with harmonious acidity and ripe tannins giving the wine solid structure for aging. A powerful but already approachable red that will have many fans." Vinous

"Complex and decadent aromas of dark berries, walnuts, licorice, and tar follow through to a full body with rich and ripe fruit and a soft and lightly velvety finish." James Suckling

"This is an iconic Sicilian red that celebrates its 40th anniversary with this handsomely styled bottle. The 2015 Sicilia Contea di Sclafani Rosso del Conte Tenuta Regaleali definitely delivers the goods, but it also delivers a few surprises along the way. There's a lot going on in terms of aromas with softly ripened fruit that is plush and succulent. With a good amount of clarity I might add, you also get varietally true aromas of olive, anise and toasted Bronte pistachio. At the tail end, there is a meaty or savory tone of smoked pancetta or cured ham. The wine shows beautiful intensity and depth with textural richness and integrated tannins." Robert Parker

Ruby red, with a fine cherry scent, in which there are also hints of nuts and forest fruits, vanilla, cinnamon, sage and tobacco. Concentrated, rich flavour with harmonious tannins and a long, velvety final. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright, elegant ruby red. Restrained but balanced nose, appears multilayered although filigree. On the palate very juicy, dense, with clear fruit and tightly meshed enveloping tannin, shows elegant pressure, builds up in many layers, great length and finesse." Falstaff

"Deep crimson ruby. A lifted, perfumed raspberry nose with beautiful concentration, a peppery tingle and perfectly integrated oak. Vibrant, crushed red-berry fruit on the palate with long, finely chiselled tannins. Closes up a little on the finish, so expect much more to come, but right now it is already irresistible. Great balance and very elegant." Jancis Robinson

"This is a really pretty Sicilian red with dried-cherry, smoke, walnut and mushroom aromas and flavors. The sour-cherry character kicks in at the finish." James Suckling

"The 2016 Rosso del Conte lifts up with an intense and heady bouquet of sweet herbs and tobacco, which deepens as notes of exotic spice, medicinal cherry and hints of menthol form in the glass. It’s silky in texture, delivering a stunning mix of tart wild berries, salty minerals and sage that creates a pleasantly savory expression, as tannins slowly saturate toward the close. This tapers off structured and dry, nearly masking notes of blackberry and cacao that echo on through the finale. A towering and powerful vintage for Rosso del Conte that will require cellaring to show its best." Vinous

"The Tasca Conti d'Almerita 2016 Sicilia Contea di Sclafani Rosso del Conte Tenuta Regaleali is an historic estate blend of Nero d'Avola and Perricone, and it is the latest release of a wine that forever changed the enological future of Sicily by pegging it to a quality-driven production philosophy. The wine is darkly saturated and boasts pretty dark garnet concentration. Both grapes impart a lasting Sicilian imprint on the bouquet with those aromas of toasted fennel, pistachio and black olive that are always associated with this school of winemaking. The wine sits tight and long on the palate, thanks to its generous (but not overdone) full-bodied style." Robert Parker
