Cabernet Sauvignon DOC Tasca D'Almerita

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.
