Item Description

Tasca D'Almerita 3L 2005

For more than a century, Tasca d’Almerita has been the benchmark for Sicilian wines. Today, Tasca d’Almerita stands for history, culture, a noble family and top quality Sicilian wines that provide excellent value. Leaving the bustle of the coastal capital Palermo and traveling inland through one of Italy’s most dramatic landscapes, you will discover Regaleali, the estate of the Tasca d’Almerita family. Located in the mountainous heart of Sicily, Regaleali is a world unto itself: a 1200 acre estate owned by the Tasca d’Almerita family since 1830 and best known for its fine wines. While the history of Tasca d’Almerita goes back to the 19th century, it was Count Giuseppe Tasca who started a new era for the winery and the Sicilian wine business in the late 1950’s, devoting himself to the promotion of Sicilian wines and introducing a new business model based on quality and innovation. He invented the winery’s two flagship wines: Rosso del Conte and Nozze d’Oro. Rosso del Conte, created in the early 1970’s, elevated the quality of the native Nero d’Avola grape through the use of modern winemaking techniques. It is considered the “father” of the modern Sicilian high-end reds. Today, as a result of Count Giuseppe’s hard work and dedication over the past 50 yeArs, all the wines of Tasca d’Almerita are celebrated worldwide for their outstanding value and prestigious history. Today the winery is run by the Tasca d’Almerita family with Count Lucio (Count Giuseppe’s son) as President, and his two sons: Giuseppe and Alberto who serve as Vice President and Managing Director respectively. Tasca d’Almerita wines are available in 50 countries worldwide.
