Lamùri Nero d’Avola Sicilia IGT
Lamùri, or “love” in Sicilian dialect, is made entirely from hand-harvested Nero d’Avola grapes. The Tasca
family credits the elegance of the final wine to the unique sandy soil and microclimate of this region. After
fermentation, the wine is aged in French barriques for one year to add extra finesse.
Le Rose di Regaleali Sicilia IGT
Thousands of roses, brought in from all over the world, thrive on the Regaleali estate. The name of this
wine has changed to reflect these incredible flowers. Unchanged, however, are the Nerello Mascalese
grapes which give Le Rose di Regaleali its class and elegant fragrance. The grapes are fermented in
stainless steel tanks and partially macerated with the skins of Nero D’Avola. Le Rose is also refined for
three months in stainless steel tanks. It is ready to be enjoyed immediately upon release.
Regaleali is the name of the estate, which comes from the Arabic, “Rahal-ali,” or House of Ali.
Leone d’Almerita Sicilia IGT
Named after Tasca d’Almerita’s coat of arms, Leone is a superbly crafted blend of Catarratto, Pinot Bianco,
Sauvignon Blanc, and Gewurztraminer. To preserve its fresh and fruit-forward character, the grapes are cool-
fermented in stainless steel.
Nozze d’Oro Contea di Sclafani DOC
For his golden wedding anniversary, or “nozze d’oro” in Italian, founder Count Giuseppe Tasca created an
innovative blend of indigenous Inzolia and Sauvignon Tasca. The fresh and lovely profile of Nozze d’Oro
was so well-received that he decided to continue its production. The blending percentages now vary but
the dedication remains the same: “To my wife Franca, with immense love.”
Regaleali Bianco Sicilia DOC
This was the first wine produced by Count Tasca d’Almerita on the Regaleali estate. Primarily a blend
of three Sicilian grapes: Inzolia, Catarratto, and Grecanico, with some Chardonnay, this wine is cool-
fermented in stainless steel to create a versatile, refreshing, and delicious white of true Sicilian character.
