Tenuta Regaleali Contea Di Sclafani Rosso Del Conte 2016 750 ML

Aromas of French oak, Mediterranean scrub and blue flower are front and center on this vibrant blend of Nero d'Avola and Perricone. The palate is still primary and youthfully austere, offering blackberry, cranberry, licorice and tobacco alongside notes of sage and thyme. Assertive, close-grained tannins provide grippy support and a drying, clenching finish.\n \n Producer Information\n \n Tasca d'Almerita is a wine producer with vineyards distributed around Sicily. The company's history dates back to 1830, although it wasn't until the 1950s that proprietor Count Guiseppe Tasca began to focus on quality, rather than bulk production. Today, its wines are exported to four continents. There are five wine estates, as described below, the largest of which is the original one, Tenuta Regaleali. Winemaking processes differ across the properties as grape varieties and terroir vary considerably. Both traditional and contemporary techniques are applied. The company holds several Sicilian certifications for sustainability.
