A long term favourite of mine. From the great 2017 vintage.
"Tenuta Regaleali Tasca d'Almerita's flagship wine is the 2019 Sicilia Contea di Sclafani Rosso del Conte, a blend of 53% Nero d'Avola and 47% Perricone. This vintage shows budding tertiary aromas with medicinal and balsam herb that give this wine extra lift and vertical intensity. They are very strong however. The fruit is buried underneath with blackberry, baked plum and black olive. The Vigneto San Lucio was planted with head-pruned vines in 1959 with the two varieties featured in this blend. The sandy soils are brownish and yellow in color with a good presence of limestone. This wine ages in 100% new French oak for 18 months.." 93pts Monica Larner The Wine Advocate
