Regaleali Nero d’Avola Sicilia DOC
One of the first Nero d’Avolas introduced to the American market, Regaleali Nero d’Avola is now a well-
established example of this varietal from Sicily. Cultivated in the heart of the island, this wine expresses itself
in old-world style and elegance. After fermentation in stainless steel, the wine is aged in a combination of
50% stainless steel and 50% Slavonian oak barrels.
Rosso del Conte Contea di Sclafani DOC
In the late 1960s, founder Count Giuseppe Tasca decided to create a special reserve of Regaleali Rosso.
He wanted to make a truly Sicilian wine that could age like the great international red blends such as
Bordeaux and Châteauneuf-du-Pape. After selecting the fruit from the best parcels and experimenting
with careful oak treatment (something unheard of in Sicily at that time), Rosso del Conte was born. Today,
Rosso del Conte still stands as a revered icon among Sicilian reds and continues to be made from the very
best selections of the old-vine estate vineyards.
