Tenuta Regaleali Chardonnay Vigna San Francesco 2021
The first harvest of Chardonnay was in 1989. Unique for the taste and olfactory characteristics it takes on at the Regaleali Estate, vinification and ageing take place in Allier and Tronçais French oak barrels, but over the hints of vanilla, typical of wood, the fruit imposes itself. The uniqueness of the Chardonnay Botrytis Cinerea 1991 is worth mentioning. As with Cabernet Sauvignon, the planting dates back to 1984 when Count Lucio Tasca was the first to believe in the potential of indigenous grapes in Sicily on the Regaleali Estate.

Tenuta Regaleali (Tasca d'Almerita)
From this winery:

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...
