Is a synthesis of the Tenuta’s philosophy, expressing with its strong personality the uniqueness of the area. The selection of the grapes from the most celebrated vine parcels, the vinification techniques which enhance its typicity and the prestigious bottle with the relief of the ancient noble coat of arms of the Bernard de la Gatinais family make Conte Hugues the symbolic wine of Rapitalà.

Hugonis with its powerful and austere style is the most prized product of the Tenuta. The seal of Hugonis Bernardi - a knight in armour with two lions - which appears on the label, is the coat-of-arms of the family of Hugues Bernard de la Gatinais

Catarratto and chardonnay grapes give this wine fresh Mediterranean scents and a savoury, elegant flavour with a typical hint of bitter almonds. Piano Maltese is the heart of the Tenuta Rapitalà, gentle hills at between 300 and 600 metres altitude, which, because of their history, terrain and climate endow wines with a special character. 

A document of 1340 chronicles a dispute before the royal, court concerning the possession of a particularly sought after fief in the district of "Casalj Rabitallavi”. This was the ancient name of Tenuta Rapitalà. Vigna Casalj di Rapitalà is a Sicilian white wine made from Catarratto grapes, with clear Mediterranean references of sage, tomato leaf and capers. The terroir gives it freshness and minerality.

Some rain during the early part of 2003 restored the soil’s water reserves. The flowering and the setting followed their normal course. The summer was very hot and dry, but growth developed steadily. The vines, for long periods close to stress conditions, acquired a rich reserve of polyphenols enhanced by a sunny and airy August which enabled them to reach full phenolic maturation.

The nero d'Avola vinified on its own gives this wine an exciting red colour, an aroma of ripe fruit and a typical, deep, balanced flavour.

The vineyards where we select the grapes for the production of Nuhar (flower in Arabic) are cultivated at the heart of the mountain which overlooks the Tenuta and from which rises the river “Rabidh Allah". 

The 100% nero d’Avola gives this wine an exciting red colour, an aroma of ripe fruit and a typical, deep, balanced flavour. Piano Maltese is the heart of the Tenuta Rapitalà, gentle hills of between 300 and 600 metres altitude, which, because of their history, terrain and climate endow wines with a special character. 

Within Tenuta Rapitalà, at about 400 metres above sea level, there is some land where dark clay alternates with tufaceous sand. It is here that is nurtured the unmistakeable character of the Syrah, from the grapes of which is born Nadir, the opposite of Zenith. A wine which takes its name from the Arab Nazir meaning deep, rare, precious.

The terroir and the vineyard: this wine developed from a project which had as its objective the extraction of the maximum expression of terroir in terms of the intensity of the organoleptic characteristics present in the wine.

A seal of love between people and grape varieties. Nozze d’Oro is Conte Giuseppe Tasca’s tribute to his wife France after 50 years of marriage. And it was also a bond between Inzolia and Tasca Sauvignon – a clone that has existed at the Estate since the end of the Great War. A blend that – like a fortunate relationship – knows how to be youthfully fresh and rich in complexity after many years.

Vigna San Francesco - Tenuta Regaleali
Tasca D'Almerita's Chardonnay is a Sicilian white wine made from grapes grown in the unrepeatable terroir of Regaleali. Produced with wisdom, Chardonnay Vigna San Francesco reaches the heights of perfection by surprisingly combining the refinement of the international grape and the radiance of the Mediterranean. The result is an elegant, intense, balanced and beautifully fresh wine.

Obtained from high hill Nero D'Avola grapes and Cabernet Sauvignon, Cygnus is an elegant, soft and sinuous Sicilian red wine. It is ideally dedicated to the composer Wagner who in 1881 completed "Parsifal" inspired by the swans of the small lake of Villa Tasca.

Towards the end of the 60’s, Count Giuseppe decided to create a special reserve of Regaleali Rosso, capable of aging like other great international red wines. A challenge he won in 1970 and renewed in successive vintages. 

Camastra, enchanted garden plunged in the hearth of Conca d’Oro, since centuries entices its guests for the beaty of its plants. 

San Francesco Vineyard - Regaleali Estate
Cabernet Sauvignon in purity with Mediterranean notes and the typical structure of the high Sicilian hills, the Cabernet Sauvignon of Vigna San Francesco is an expression of the character of the vineyard from which it comes. The experimentation in the Regaleali estate of the most famous international red grapes has led to the creation of an amazing Cabernet Sauvignon. A powerful and austere but at the same time fresh wine. Excellent quality and body characterize the 2019 vintage.

Classic method sparkling wine
Almerita Brut is a Sicilian vintage created in 1987 for the friends of Count Giuseppe. Obtained from 100% Chardonnay grapes and elaborated with the Classic Method, in contact with the lees for 24 months, this sparkling wine of Tasca d'Almerita has a fine and persistent perlage and is delicately creamy and extraordinarily fresh on the palate.

Lamùri of Tasca D'Almerita is a Sicilian Nero d'Avola cultivated on the high hills. It takes its name from the winery's own love (Lamùri) for the production of its wines. Unlike the usual Nero d'Avola grown in the plains, Lamùri is characterized by primary aromas, without excesses of ripening.

International Syrah and DOC Monreale
Fresh wine of excellent drinkability, the Syrah produced by Tasca d'Almerita in the Sallier de la Tour estate represents the most varietal and identity-defining expression of the Monreale DOC territory. In fact, this international vine has perfectly adapted to the very hot but windy climate and clayey soil of Monreale (Vigna Ex-Pereto).

Typical Sicilian wine with Mediterranean aromas
Produced in the Monreale area, Inzolia Sallier de la Tour is a fresh and drinkable wine, obtained from the traditional white vinification of 100% Inzolia grapes. It is in particular this autochthonous white grape variety that gives us Sicilian wine with the typical Mediterranean aromas of orange blossom, lemon flowers and almonds.

Fresh and Mediterranean wine with a pleasant drinkability
Obtained from 100% Grillo grapes, the Grillo of the Sallier de la Tour estate is a light white wine suitable for both an aperitif and throughout the meal. Tasca d'Almerita gives us a mineral and Mediterranean Grillo, balanced and harmonious on the palate. Freshness and drinkability make this Grillo irresistible.
