Regaleali comprises several estates: Tenuta Capofaro on the island of Salina in the Aeolian Archipelago, Tascante at the foot of Mount Etna, Sallier de La Tour in Monreale, and Fondazione Whitaker on the island of Mozia. Each has its own unique characteristics and distinct qualities, which you can immediately taste in the different wines. After careful harvesting and pressing, the grapes are fermented at a controlled temperature of 28 degrees Celsius in stainless steel tanks for twenty days. After this, thirty percent of the wine is aged in second- and third-year French oak barrels for twelve months.
This Syrah hues deep red in the glass. On the nose, the Sallier de La Tour Syrah is rich and full of notes of blackcurrant and blackberry, interspersed with a lovely, intense spiciness. The abundant sunshine the grapes have enjoyed creates a very pleasant and soft aroma. On the palate, the Sallier de La Tour Syrah is powerful with lovely hints of spice and ripe, sultry notes of blackberry, blackcurrant, and cherry. The long finish reveals soft, refined tannins with a hint of vanilla.
