The Nero d'Avola grape and the island of Sicily are a perfect match. This grape, like no other, produces exquisite red wines, just like this red Regaleali. The Tasca family, the winemakers of this red wine, has some of the finest vineyards spread across the island. Thanks to the ancient vines, some 40 years old, and the wonderful climate, the Nero d'Avola ripens beautifully. But this doesn't happen automatically; Regaleali wines are crafted with the utmost precision and craftsmanship. And this fine winery wants to launch a red that will allow you to taste the beauty of Sicily.
Wood aging for the red Regaleali
The harvest is hand-harvested when the Nero d'Avola reaches its ideal ripeness. The Tasca family begins this process early in the morning to minimize damage to the grapes. They are transported in small crates to the press, where a gentle pressing is performed. Afterward, this red Regaleali Nero d'Avola is aged in oak for eight months in the Tasca cellars. The wine is allowed to mature and acquire beautiful characteristics from the oak. We can look forward to a top-notch wine.
