The wine

Here is the first 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from Sicily!

Intense ruby red color; the nose is explosive, rich, exuberant and complex. Fruity notes of black currant and morello cherry, spicy notes of cocoa, vanilla and black pepper, a beautiful scent of Mediterranean scrub: myrtle, sage, thyme, mint, bergamot ... In the mouth the tannin is delicate, the fruity notes return with pleasant discretion . A warm, fresh and balanced wine.

A wine that is an explosive yet very elegant expression of the territory, from which it has inherited wealth and exuberance.

Suitable to accompany dishes with an intense flavor: lamb, veal kidney, duck with orange, roast game, boiled meats.

Wine critics reviewsReviews by Parker

This is one of the flagship wines from Sicily's Tasca family. The Tasca Conti d'Almerita 2017 Sicilia Cabernet Sauvignon Tenuta Regaleali Vigna San Francesco shows terrific results in this hot vintage. The Cabernet Sauvignon grape is up to the challenge, and it successfully channels all that extra ripeness and intensity into the rich fiber and lasting mouthfeel of this hearty red wine. Most importantly, it remains balanced with plenty of variety-driven aromas of blackberry, rosemary and toasted spice.
