Only the best harvests, using the oldest vineyards, over 50 years old and with the lowest yields, become Duca di Montalbo. The Cru is decisive: the Montalbo district is characterised by 100% limestone marl, a 'lunar' soil surprisingly suitable for the long maturation of red wines.

Intense, transparent ruby colour, the nose explodes in bouquets of red fruit and nuances of liquorice and spices. The undergrowth of the Mediterranean bush surrounding the vineyard is found in the energising freshness of the glass, currants, juniper and blueberry, as well as juiciness from the mineral savouriness.

It is the district that identifies and distinguishes us: the wine comes from a small plot of a few thousand square metres, with old and very old vines inside. A very small production, one barrique, for a wine of great finesse and expressive elegance.

Le Sabbie dell'Etna Rosso is, together with its white variant, the progenitor of Firriato's decades-long production on Etna. The wines of the Tenuta di Cavanera Etnea Estate are elitist by birth and dedicated to exclusivity. Labels designed for and dedicated to the most demanding winelovers. Le Sabbie dell'Etna Rosso reveals itself in the glass with a delicious and complex bouquet with notes of cinnamon, black pepper, blackcurrant and cherries in spirit. Only the extraordinary terroir of Etna's northern slope, on the slopes of Europe's largest active volcano, could generate this wine with great personality. The volcanic soils of the estate are characterised by a high concentration of nutrients such as phosphorous, which determines the concentration of sugars in the must, manganese, which increases the plant's ability to defend itself from the cold, and iron, which contributes to the pigmentation of the black berry varieties, determining the brilliant colour of the grapes of the indigenous Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio.

Vigna La Monaca, two hectares planted in 2011 at an altitude of 320 m a.s.l., is characterised by a soil with a more sandy texture (37.4% of sand and 12.5% of clay), which is well aerated, very draining and therefore drier, making the vines less vigorous. The north-eastern exposure ensures good luminosity but less influence from the hot summer temperatures; this means that in the hottest and driest years the vine suffers less, maintaining constant ripening. The presence of active limestone facilitates the development of aromas and the wealth of potassium favours the accumulation of sugars, aromas and anthocyanins. The low vigour, low productivity and the characteristics of the soil are favourable for a balanced and complete ripening of the grapes, more suitable for structured red wines with long ageing. The training system is espalier, with Guyot pruning and a density of 4600 vines per hectare.
Sicilian gin with a Japanese soul dry line that can be used in blending. Infusion of the aromatic herbs that grow at the foot of Mount Etna, such as coriander, broom, angelica cardamom, myrtle and others, as well as Japanese botanicals that are mainly harvested during the shun or the times of year when nature is at its best.

It has ancient origins and is widespread throughout the region: from the hills, to the plain, to the sea. Tenuta Sant'Anna's Friulano comes from the western Friulian high plain, an area whose characteristics enhance the fragrance and elegance of this wine.

The soils of the island of Mozia derive from seabed of marine origin. They are sandy and loose soils. The presence of limestone is important, which causes an alkaline reaction in the soil (pH 8.2) and influences the organoleptic characteristics of the grapes.
The depth of the soil allows the sapling to develop properly. The 'Marsala style' pruning is the most appropriate for Grillo, given the low fertility at the base of the shoot. Harvesting, slightly ahead of ideal ripeness, preserves some acidity to maintain the freshness of the sip and the longevity that the white of Mozia has demonstrated over the years.
The weather on the island of Mozia was characterised by a cool spring, with good rainfall in March that ensured a good water supply to the vines throughout the production cycle. Summer was very hot and dry, but well tolerated by the alberello, the typical form of cultivation of Grillo vines on the island of Mozia.
The harvest began on 18 August, starting with the young Khoton vineyard, and continued until 28 August with the harvest from the Eastern Steps vineyards.
Perfect ripeness and health of the grapes, good sugar content and excellent structure and aromaticity of the wine.
In 1984, Count Giuseppe Tasca d'Almerita decided to celebrate 50 years of marriage to his wife Franca with a wine that would tell the story of the family and the estate. The uniqueness of the varietal composition is the sign of its romanticism, born from Inzolia and Tasca Sauvignon, a selection from a vineyard present at Regaleali since the end of the First World War. The use of selected yeasts from our own vineyards binds this wine even more indissolubly to its terroir. Fresh at a young age and capable of unsuspected longevity, balancing tertiary aromas with fruit intensity.
The result of the interaction between Nerello Mascalese and Etna's volcanic soils, this wine is born on terraces surrounded by chestnut and downy oak forests in an area rich in biodiversity. Soft tannins, good drinkability and freshness. It is aged in large Slavonian oak barrels, a non-invasive wood as Nerello Mascalese requires.

San Francesco is the vineyard that represents the emblem of our work at Regaleali, the incessant research and innovation of our team to improve the quality of our wines. Planted in 1985 by Lucio Tasca, it was divided into two different portions due to the nature of the soil. The higher part, on the south-eastern slope of the Canalotto valley, at an altitude of between 532 and 585 metres, was reserved for Cabernet Sauvignon. The soil is made up of sand and sandstone of variable grain, the texture is partly clayey and calcareous, with a slightly alkaline pH (8.3). It is a moderately deep soil, in which the development of the vine root system is abundant in the first 60 centimetres and more moderate up to one metre deep. It has a normal organic substance content and is rich in minerals such as magnesium and potassium, while it is poor in phosphorous. The vines are planted at a spacing of 2.60 by 1.1 metres (3,490 plants per hectare). The training system is espalier, with short spurred cordon pruning. Cabernet Sauvignon is a late variety, with a very long vegetative arc. The grapes are hand-picked by expert vine-dressers who are able to select the bunches already in the vineyard, and the harvest takes place on average between mid-September and the first ten days of October.
It is the true expression of Sicilian chardonnay.
