Description
Five iconic wines, expression of the Tasca d’Almerita estates, represent an ideal journey to discover Sicily’s extraordinary agricultural and landscape diversity. The tasting, guided by our expert staff, opens with Mozia, a Grillo cultivated on the Phoenician island of Stagnone, and Didyme, a dry Malvasia from Salina. It continues with Contrada Rampante, a Nerello Mascalese that tells the story of Mount Etna’s mineral identity, followed by Rosso del Conte, the symbol of Regaleali and the first single-vineyard wine in Sicily. To conclude, La Monaca, an elegant Syrah from the Monreale DOC. A journey through the centenary history of the Tasca d'Almerita family. The tasting is accompanied by local specialties and a taste of our extra virgin olive oil, made from local cultivars. The experience is framed by the ancient palmento (traditional millstone) and the countless terraces nestled on the northern slope of Mount Etna, the active volcano that nourishes these soils.

From this winery

- Oenologist: Laura Orsi
- Hectares: 697
Tasca d’Almerita is one of Italy’s oldest family-run wineries, founded in 1830 at Regaleali, in the rural heart of Sicily.
The Tasca family is internationally recognized for its pioneering role in modern Sicilian winemaking. Since 2001, Tasca d’Almerita has pursued a project focused on enhancing native grape varieties in the island’s most vocated territories. Alongside Regaleali—the historic estate spanning approximately 500 hectares—new estates have been added: Capofaro on the island of Salina, Tascante on the northern slopes of Mount Etna, Whitaker on the island of Mozia, and Sallier de La Tour in the Monreale DOC.
In 2019, Tasca d’Almerita was named "European Winery of the Year" by Wine Enthusiast magazine. In 2021, it became one of only 24 wineries worldwide to be awarded the prestigious "Green Emblem" for sustainability by Robert Parker – Wine Advocate. Since March 2023, already a Benefit Corporation, it has earned the esteemed international B Corp certification, joining a select group of companies committed to the highest standards of social and environmental sustainability. In 2025, Tasca d’Almerita received the "Historic Brand" recognition and was officially registered in the Special Register of Historic Brands of National Interest by the Italian Ministry of Enterprises and Made in Italy.
