Sallier de La Tour Nero d'Avola is a truly special wine. The Nero d'Avola grape has only recently become very popular again. It's a difficult grape variety to cultivate, but with the right care, it's a top-notch grape! This has also proven very successful for Sallier de La Tour Nero d'Avola.

The right grape variety in the right place

Regaleali's vineyards are nestled in the Sicilian hills. It's one of Sicily's most renowned wineries. And despite the climate being considered unsuitable for viticulture by many, there are plenty of possibilities. Choosing the right grape varieties and finding favorable locations is crucial. Securing a foothold in the wine market is a constant struggle, especially because the region isn't known for its wine, unlike northern Italy. We recommend giving this area a try, because Regaleali knows better than anyone how to plant the right grape variety in the right spot. The Regaleali winery comprises several estates, including Sallier de La Tour. The estate covers 135 hectares in the Jato Valley, where wine has been grown since the 19th century. Besides Nero d'Avola, Syrah, Grillo, and Inzolia grapes are also grown here. The wines are particularly known for their beautifully balanced tannins in the reds.

12 months of rest for the Sallier de La Tour Nero d'Avola Sicilia

Alcoholic fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature of 28 degrees Celsius in stainless steel tanks for 20 days. After fermentation, 30 percent of the wine is aged in second- and third-year French oak for 12 months. The result is a beautiful glass of red. The aroma reveals lovely fruity notes of berries, cassis, and plums, along with light vanilla notes. On the palate, this red wine is like a down comforter—so soft! Beautiful notes of cassis, interspersed with cherries and ripe blackberries. Due to the light oak aging this Trasca wine has undergone, we also detect a toasted note from the charred wood. All this, combined with a lovely, long finish, completes this wine.
