Tenuta Regaleali (Tasca d'Almerita) Regaleali Contea di Sclafani Rosso del Conte Magnum 2017

This wine originated in 1970 as Regalali Riserva del Conte, but is known as Rosso del Conte. Originally, it was a Nero d'Avola grown as a head-training vine, with a small addition of Perricone grapes, another native Sicilian variety. The desire was to create a great wine in Sicily that could compete with the most important crus around the world.

The most recent evolution dates back to the 2003 vintage when Rosso del Conte became the best harvest selection of Nero d'Avola and the other red grapes on the estate. ...
