With this 100% Catarratto, which has been widely planted in Sicily since very ancient times, the Mazzei family continues its efforts to enhance Sicily's indigenous grape varieties. The pedoclimatic peculiarities of the Zisola estate, with its highly calcareous soil and proximity to the sea guaranteeing excellent ventilation, combined with the low-yield bush-training method of cultivation and the characteristic acidity of Catarratto, guarantee a fresh and long-lived wine.

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.

One of the most stimulating challenges for the company's managers. The project to create a wine of superior quality and rank using the most celebrated and widely planted white grape variety was born in the mid-1980s. The San Francesco vineyard was planted in 1985 by Lucio Tasca, in the lowest portion of the slope, on a soil that is more fertile than the average Regaleali due to a deeper active layer and greater freshness, due to less rainwater drainage.
The clonal material comes partly from Burgundy. The plot covers about 5 hectares, with a planting pattern of 2.60 metres by 1.20 metres (3,200 plants per hectare), at an altitude between 520 and 532 metres. The substratum of origin is clayey-sandy sediment, the texture is loamy-clayey, weakly calcareous, with a slightly alkaline reaction (pH 8.1). It is a thick, well-structured soil, but the roots do not exceed a depth of 70 centimetres.
The soil has a normal organic substance content and is rich in mineral salts, magnesium and potassium in particular, with a good amount of phosphorous. The vines are espalier-trained, with a double Guyot training system.
The grapes are fermented in 350-litre French oak barrels, with batonnage daily for the first 10-15 days, then weekly for the remaining 8 months of ageing. Chardonnay is a very early variety and at Regaleali it usually reaches maturity between late August and early September, with little variation from vintage to vintage. In 1985, Lucio Tasca d'Almerita decided to confront the world's most celebrated white grape variety. After an initial experimentation with rooted cuttings that had also arrived from Burgundy, he planted 5 hectares of Chardonnay on the lower part of the San Francesco hill, at an altitude of around 500 metres, with rich soils originating from sediments of fluvial origin suitable for structured white grapes. Capable of combining the more savoury and fresh side with good balance.
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.
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.
Grappa Invecchiata d. Giù Milazzo 200 ml is the result of a skilful blend of different reserves of Inzolia grappa, aged separately in medium-toasted oak barrels for a minimum of 10 years and up to over 20 years (the first barrels were filled in the mid 1990s). A slow and patient maturation with final blending, after ageing in wood of the different masses, for an unconventional grappa.

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.
