Winemaker Notes
Deep ruby-red in color, this wine offers enticing aromas of Marasca cherries and herbs with undertones of vanilla and tobacco. On the palate, silky tannins and a rich body culminate in a long, flavorful finish.
Pair this wine with grilled steaks, Bordelaise sauces, rack of lamb, and rumaki.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
This is an iconic Sicilian red that celebrates its 40th anniversary with this handsomely styled bottle. The 2015 Sicilia Contea di Sclafani Rosso del Conte Tenuta Regaleali definitely delivers the goods, but it also delivers a few surprises along the way. There's a lot going on in terms of aromas with softly ripened fruit that is plush and succulent. With a good amount of clarity I might add, you also get varietally true aromas of olive, anise and toasted Bronte pistachio. At the tail end, there is a meaty or savory tone of smoked pancetta or cured ham. The wine shows beautiful intensity and depth with textural richness and integrated tannins. The blend is 52% Nero d'Avola and 48% Perricone, aged in French oak for 18 months with an additional 12 months in bottle. Rating: 94+

Scorched soil, leather, mature black-skinned fruit and Mediterranean scrub are just some of the aromas you'll find on this blend of Nero d'Avola and Perricone. The enveloping, full-bodied palate delivers ripe blackberry, black cherry, black spice and dried herb alongside firm, fine-grained tannins. Drink 2020–2030.

Wine & Spirits
A blend of near equal parts of nero d’Avola and perricone, this buzzes with notes of licorice, menthol and wild thyme that impart a cool edge to the dense, dark fruit. A note of black olive lends a savory balance, and the finish lingers with hints of herbs.

Wine Spectator
Aromatic, with crushed pine and mocha notes, this creamy, medium- to full-bodied red ripples with lush flavors of raspberry coulis and black olive tapenade, defined by a minerally underpinning and supple tannins that emerge on the finish. Nero d'Avola and Perricone. Drink now through 2027.

The wines of Regaleali continue to grow in both quantity and quality thanks to the hard work and dedication of Count Giuseppe Tasca over the past 50 years. Today the winery is run by Lucio Tasca and his sons, Giuseppe and Alberto who are increasingly involved in management. Carlo Ferrini, one of Italy's most renown enologists, is makes the wines. In conjunction with the winery, Anna Tasca Lanza - Lucio's sister – also runs a highly regarded cooking school at the estate.
