It is striking that as early as 1854 Regaleali was awarded as a "model farm" in the Annals of Sicilian Agriculture. At that time, the vineyards occupied a small portion of the cultivation, as the production of cereals and fodder was the main activity in the area.
Over the years, the Estate's winemaking vocation has been consolidated thanks to the strategies implemented by the various protagonists who have alternated its management, from Count Giuseppe to Count Lucio to arrive at the current generation, Alberto and Giuseppe.
The winemaking first tried the use of traditional varieties, such as Nero d'Avola and Inzolia, to expand, later, in the testing of International varieties and their use, with great success. "Regaleali has a very strong and very clear DNA, all we can do is preserve this character and try not to compromise what nature has given to this place"
With these words Alberto testifies the attention he dedicates to sustainability and motivates the birth, in 2010, of SOStain, a Sicilian "green" viticulture: a planned and progressive improvement, which goes hand in hand with scientific research, aimed at reducing the impact of all business activities on the resources of the territory. All this without losing sight of the quality of the wines produced. In fact, this year's tasting has highlighted an extremely well-kept and excellent level of production.
