White Wines

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.

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.

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. 

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.

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.

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.
