Description
What kind of wine it is
Lamùri Tasca d’Almerita is a full-bodied red wine that expresses the authentic character of Sicily. Made from Nero d’Avola grapes, it offers a concentrated bouquet with aromas of black forest fruits, plum and cherry, interwoven with hints of vanilla, chocolate and tobacco. On the palate, it displays marked freshness and a lively tannic structure, enhanced by a pleasant saline note. The sip is balanced and persistent, with a delicate spicy note that elegantly accompanies mature cheeses and grilled meat dishes.
Where it comes from
This wine originates from the high hillside vineyards of the Regaleali Estate, located in Sclafani Bagni, in the Palermo area. The vines grow between 450 and 750 metres above sea level, an altitude that ensures gradual ripening and preserves the natural freshness of the grapes. Tasca d’Almerita cultivates these lands following strict sustainability principles, thanks to adherence to the SOStain protocol for the protection of the agricultural ecosystem. This meticulous care for the environment results in a glass with clear fruit, enriched by a pronounced savoury territorial imprint.
How it is produced
The selected grapes are vinified with fermentation in stainless steel at controlled temperatures. A twelve-day maceration on the skins ensures optimal extraction of colour and structure, followed by complete malolactic fermentation. The process concludes with twelve months of ageing in French oak barrels from Allier and Tronçais, using wood of various ages. This ageing period gives roundness to the tannins and harmoniously integrates the spicy nuances, while preserving the original freshness and aromatic integrity.
History and Curiosities
Created in 2002 to enhance the value of high hillside Sicilian vineyards, Lamùri (whose name in dialect means “love”) embodies the profound winemaking vision of Tenuta Regaleali. Since 1830, Tasca d’Almerita has passed down a prestigious legacy, combining the pursuit of absolute quality with rigorous sustainable farming practices. This exceptional single-varietal Nero d’Avola, awarded 90 points by Vinous, reflects the authentic soul of a historic company, named European Winery of the Year by Wine Enthusiast.
