Syrah Sallier de La Tour Tasca D'Almerita
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).
