Contea di Sclafani Rosso del Conte 2018, Tasca d'Almerita - Tenuta Regaleali
A monumental red for its rigor, strength, and fidelity to the high-altitude terroir of Regaleali.

A testament to style that places this wine among the absolute top in the international scene.
Contea di Sclafani Rosso del Conte 2018, Tasca d'Almerita - Tenuta Regaleali
The Rosso del Conte 2018 by Tasca d'Almerita is the icon of the Regaleali Estate and one of the noble forefathers of Sicilian fine winemaking. Made predominantly from Nero d'Avola and Perricone grapes grown as bush vines in the historic "San Lucio" vineyard, this wine embodies the rural aristocracy of the Sclafani County. The 2018 vintage, characterized by balanced temperatures, allowed for slow phenolic ripening, resulting in a wine of extraordinary intellectual tension. On the nose, it is an explosion of Mediterranean complexity: clear notes of sour cherry, wild blackberry, and mulberry merge with deep scents of tobacco, licorice, herbs of the scrubland, and a distinctive spicy note of black pepper and cloves. On the palate, it is sumptuous and three-dimensional; the entry is broad, dominated by a dense and noble tannin structure, balanced by pronounced mineral sapidity and a vibrant freshness that extends the finish towards notes of bitter cocoa and wild mint.
