“Guarnaccio” Perricone Rosso Sicilia DOC 2021
Tasca's Perricone is bright ruby in colour, with hints of red berries, blackberries, cherries and spices, tasting fresh and lively. A fine minerality and a hint of nuts on the final, very long and complex on the palate. SUPERIORE.DE
"Rich, simple and floral bouquet with notes of quince, baked cherries, cranberries and violets. Fleshy and medium to full-bodied on the palate with soft tannins and a round, fruity finish. Simple, generous and convivial." James Suckling
"This rare varietal Perricone, from vines growing at 480 metres above sea level in the province of Palermo, is bright and herbal with bitter black fruits. Intense and juicy, it has a balsamic edge and fine, sandy tannins." Decanter
"The Perricone Guarnaccio 2021 is perfumed with a dusty blend of black cherries, liquorice and sage. It glides across the palate like pure silk, showing polished red and black fruits accompanied by balsamic spices. Salty minerals saturate towards the end. The finish is long with tannins reminiscent of black tea that captivate the senses as mint and cedar nuances slowly fade. The 2021 will require patience, and lots of it." Vinous

“Lamuri” Nero d’Avola Sicilia DOC 2020

"The Tenuta Regaleali Tasca d'Almerita 2020 Sicilia Nero d'Avola Lamùri opens with a dark colour and a rich concentration of pressed blackberries, Mediterranean herbs, black olives and scorched earth. You can feel the fruit concentration of a hot and sunny vintage." Wine Advocate
"The Nero d'Avola Lamuri 2020 opens slowly in the glass, dusty and floral with floral undergrowth and smouldering ash stone forming its bouquet. It is soft and pure in style, with mineral-tinged red and black fruits accompanied by a lively acidity. On the finish, tart notes of wild berries and citrus fruits leave a bitter aftertaste." Vinous
"On the nose, this wine develops rich floral and fruity aromas of black cherry, violet and rose petals as well as stony notes of cobblestones and gravel. On the palate, it shows its best side. A savoury blend of spices, earth and a hint of balsamic vinegar meets more berries. The tannins are strong and chewy, and the acidity is restrained." Wine Enthusiast
"It's a Nero of striking density and intensity but with excellent balance. Earthy dark fruit aromas complement the sticky, spicy palate, with streaks of chocolate, salt and fresh herbs." Decanter

It is silky and smooth with ripe fruit that is skilfully contrasted by a lively acidity and a zesty citrus core.

Didyme, a grape variety of Malvasia delle Lipari, is an absolute taste sensation." Vinous

“Mozia” Grillo Sicilia DOC 2022
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. Then fresh, juicy and dense, with wonderful clarity and a flavour palate of aromas such as pome fruit and white stone fruit and a lively, harmonious acidity. Its impressive finish is long and mineral. SUPERIORE.DE
"Bright, light golden yellow in colour. Pronounced nose of apricots, yellow peach, meadow herbs and subtle spice. Smooth on the palate, with a precise fruit centre, fine acidity and a hint of iodine on the finish." Falstaff
"Grapefruit and thyme with a sweet note of lemon curd and a hint of eraser on the nose open up to a palate of mixed citrus and toasted almonds, with a rich mouthfeel balanced by the salty, acidic finish." Wine Enthusiast
"Spicy herbs, fresh lemons, green apples and gooseberries on the nose, medium body and smooth texture. Dry and crisp with a refreshing finish and some herbal notes at the end." James Suckling
"Mozia is sourced from Grillo grown on the small, breezy island of San Pantaleo in the Marsala lagoon, where the soils are sand and limestone. The grapes are picked just before full maturity to retain freshness, and after vinification the wine ages in stainless steel on its lees for around five months. A light lemon scent invites you to take a sip, delivering a fresh, pithy and saline mouthful of bright lemon and orange peel flavours, finishing with a touch of grapefruit." Decanter

“Nozze d’Oro” Bianco Sicilia DOC 2021
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 haunting floral 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

“Capofaro” Bianco Salina IGT 2019 dolce · in gift box
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." Wine Advocate

“Cygnus” Rosso Sicilia DOC 2018 · MAGNUM in gift box
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
"It has aromas of mulberries, ripe cherries, bay leaves and mushrooms. It is medium-bodied with firm, integrated tannins. Spicy and well balanced." James Suckling

“Contrada Pianodario” Rosso Etna DOC 2016
Tasca was involved in Etna at an early stage and the latest result of this many years of experience are four new single vineyard wines from the Tascante winery: Contrada Rampante, Pianodario, Sciaranuova and Sciaranuova Vigna Vecchia (V.V.). The wines are filigree and profound, and despite their strength, acidity and tight tannin very elegant, rich in finesse and light-footed on the palate. Each of the four plots brings a slightly different style and personality to the wine due to the altitude, soil and morphology of the historical lava flows. A high annual rainfall secures all water reserves for the soil, and the temperature fluctuations between day and night support the variety of aromas of the grapes and ultimately the ripening potential.
The Pianodario plot is situated at an average altitude of 775 metres above sea level between the hamlet of Montelaguardia and Randazzo. It covers an area of about 8 hectares of vineyards. The soils are of volcanic origin and up to 40,000 years old. SUPERIORE.DE
"One of three new single-vineyard wines introduced by Tasca's Tascante, the 2016 Etna Rosso Contrada Pianodario comes from the western-most parcel located between Montelaguardia and Randazzo. These are relatively new vines, planted in 2010, in soils representing various lava flows, the oldest in 1646 and the newest in 1981. This is a bright and accessible wine with pretty tones of wild berry and dried pomegranate followed by candied orange and pressed violets. It will no doubt be exciting to follow this wine as those vines get, proverbially speaking, older and wiser. Some 5,000 bottles were made." Wine Advocate

Limitation of 3 articles per customer“Contrada Sciaranuova” Rosso Etna DOC 2016
Tasca got involved in Etna early on and the latest result of these years of experience are four new single vineyard wines from the Tascante estate: Contrada Rampante, Pianodario, Sciaranuova and Sciaranuova Vigna Vecchia (V.V.). The wines are delicate and profound, and despite their power, acidity and taut tannin, very elegant, finesse-rich and light-footed on the palate. Each of the four plots brings a slightly different style and personality to the wine - due to the altitude, soil composition and morphology of the historic lava flows. A high annual rainfall ensures that the soil has all the water it needs, and the temperature fluctuations between day and night support the aromatic diversity of the grapes and ultimately the ripening potential.
The Sciaranuova parcel is situated at an average altitude of 730 metres above sea level between the villages of Montelaguardia and Passopisciaro. It covers an area of about 4.9 hectares of vineyards. The soils are of volcanic origin and up to 40,000 years old. SUPERIORE.DE
"Just mid ruby and the most youthful looking of the four single-contrade wines of this vintage. Quite deep red-fruit nose with hints of bacon and a note of oak. This is the one that is the most obviously oaked. Wonderful succulent fruit with a bit of oak that supports rather than distracts. Serious grainy tannins and a little demanding and still a little rough, but extremely fine-perfumed fruit finish." Jancis Robinson
"Good full red. Deep musky, ripe red cherry and strawberry aromas are characterized by a mineral undertone. Then also mineral on entry, but turns just slightly tough in the middle and on the long back end that features similar flavors to the aromas. There's good sweetness here, and the stony nuances add further lightness of being to what is essentially a medium-bodied, easygoing red wine." Vinous
"Lovely nose of wild berry, autumn leaves and tar noted aroma. Crunchy red berry texture, grippy with soft woody notes." Decanter
"The 2016 Etna Rosso Contrada Sciaranuova is made with fruit from vines planted in 2008 at 730 meters above sea level. This is a classic expression from Etna with an even dose of wild berry, rose, mineral and spice. This wine shows an attractive level of balance and harmony, and I am especially attracted to those distinctive volcanic or mineral tones that frame this delicate, almost fragile wine. This Etna Rosso is mostly aged in large Slavonian oak casks, but a small part goes into 300-liter tonneaux. This adds a bit more volume and girth to the finish. Production is 5,000 bottles."

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's a juicy, spicy expression that combines hints of papaya with lime and floral notes. It displays excellent balance, and a complexity of wood spice, 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 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."
