Brand TASCA D ALMERITA
TASCA D'ALMERITA ROSSO DEL CONTE 2017
San Lucio is the first “grande vigna” created on the Tenuta Regaleali in 1959, from which the first and following editions of Rosso del Conte were born. Here two varieties coexist: Perricone and Nero d’Avola. They have a similar vegetative cycle: they are fairly late
ripening grapes, ripening on average between late September and early October. The Rosso del Conte is a faithful expression of its terroir, recalling the high hills in the heart of Sicily. On the aromatic level, Rosso del Conte never exaggerates in overripe notes, while
guaranteeing full phenolic ripeness. A wine that is exuberant, vibrant, and energetic in its youth, with aging it develops a velvety touch, without losing structure and flavor. In its long history it has experienced various production approaches, particularly in its aging
technique: chestnut barrels, Slavonian oak, small French oak barrels. But all the while maintaining its peculiar identity.

Tasting Notes: “Delivers a rich underpinning of tarry smoke and melted licorice, which support flavors of baked black plum and black raspberry fruit and accents of wild sage, cedar and sandalwood. Well-knit, with fine, crisp tannins, and lively on the palate through to the racy finish. Nero d'Avola and Perricone. Drink now through 2030. 2,458 cases made, 200 cases imported.” – Wine Spectator, 91 points
Grape Varietal(s): Nero d’Avola, Perricone
Awards & Accolades (Robert Parker/ Wine Spectator/ James Suckling etc):
“Made with hot-vintage Nero d'Avola (58%) and Perricone (42%), fruit for this iconic Sicilian wine comes from the eight-hectare San Lucio Vineyard (and speaking of Saint Lucio, I can't help but give a nod to the late Lucio Tasca d'Almerita, who did much to shape the identity of modern Sicilian wine). The Tenuta Regaleali Tasca d'Almerita 2017 Sicilia Contea di Sclafani Rosso del Conte is an easy wine to recognize in a blind tasting thanks to its distinctive aromas of blackcurrant, olive, aniseed and scorched earth. The wine takes you straight to beautiful Sicily at the heart of the Mediterranean. Some 29,500 bottles were made.” – Wine Advocate, 94 points
“Aromas of black licorice, plum and bay leaf. Medium-to full-bodied with silky tannins. Redcurrant and plum on the palate, with a hint of sappy character. Pine, too. Drink now.” – James Suckling, 91 points
“The 2017 Rosso del Conte captivates with a burst of citrus-tinged black cherry and grilled herbs complicated by hints of cedar and undergrowth. This is racy and sleek in character, with a wave of tart wild berry fruits and mineral tones carried across a core of brisk acidity. Grippy tannins mount toward the close. The 2017 finishes long and persistent with a saturation of primary concentration. Medicinal blackberries, licorice and cocoa notes last up to a minute. The length alone is something to behold, yet the 2017 will need time to integrate fully. That said, I'm excited to revisit this in four to five five years.” – Antonio Galloni, 94 points
