Description
This wine is the sum of the aromatic power of white grapes cultivated in the high hills, reaching up to 900 metres. The basis is the extensive temperature range between day and night, which gives it freshness and good acidity. Leone, also the company's trademark, is mainly composed of Catarratto grapes, unique in Sicily given the altitude, with the addition of a small percentage of other white grapes, resulting in a wine of absolute pleasantness.

It was 1830 when brothers Lucio and Carmelo Mastrogiovanni Tasca bought the former stronghold of Regaleali, which lies on the borderline of the provinces of Palermo and Caltanissetta in the heart of Sicily. Much has changed since then: the introduction of the use of espalier, the complete restructuring of the cellars, the use of finished barrels for ageing, and the complete renovation of the equipment park - today the vanguard of Europe - only to mention a few innovations. However, what has never changed in the 180 years of the wineries history is the love of the land, the respect fot a noble and ancient art: wine, and the cultivation of the grape in all of its phases. To practice viticulture for many generations means first of all to have clearly understood and interpreted the value and character of this magnificent material above that of the grape, Europe's fruit of life. It is with pride that the Tasca d'Almerita family carries the traditions of yesterday into the future. And it is with the spirit of innovation that the Tasca d'Almerita family faces the challeges of tomorrow already today. Read more
