Вино "Regaleali" Nero d'Avola, Sicilia DOC, 2022
Вино "Regaleali" Nero d'Avola, produced in Sicily under the DOC designation, embodies the essence of the island's rich heritage and craftsmanship. This wine is renowned for its elegant character and deep flavor profile, reflecting centuries of expertise in European viticulture. Originating from several vineyards at altitudes between 450 and 750 meters, it features soils predominantly composed of clay enriched with potassium and interspersed with limestone. Vineyard density and age vary, with some areas supporting up to 7000 vines per hectare and ranging in age from one year to forty years. The grapes are pressed after harvest, and the resulting juice ferments for ten days at a temperature between 26-28°C in stainless steel tanks. The 2022 vintage was aged for ten months in Slovenian oak barrels (50%) and stainless steel tanks (50%). This estate, owned by the aristocratic Tascioni family since 1830, is situated on high hills in central Sicily. It continues to uphold traditional agricultural standards while embracing innovation, such as low-yield techniques, French grape varieties, and modern fermentation methods. Despite a diverse selection of forty vineyard varieties for experimentation, existing wines have gained unprecedented popularity.
