Description
What kind of wine it is
Regaleali Diamante Passito is a sweet dessert wine by Tasca d’Almerita, an authentic expression of the Terre Siciliane region. The result of a careful blend of Moscato Giallo and Traminer Aromatico grapes, it appears in the glass with a bright golden yellow colour enhanced by subtle green highlights. The bouquet offers intense aromas of candied and syrupy fruit, which precede a fragrant, soft and persistent palate. The rich sweetness finds ideal balance thanks to a vibrant acidity, creating a structured and pleasantly crisp tasting experience.
Where it comes from
This wine is produced at the Regaleali Estate, located in the Palermo area of Sicily. The history of this label is closely linked to the Tasca d’Almerita family: the project was conceived by Count Giuseppe Tasca to celebrate his sixtieth wedding anniversary. Initially reserved for private family events, it has over time become a symbol of the winery’s excellence. The estate’s unique climatic conditions favour an excellent aromatic concentration in the grapes, ensuring the wine’s remarkable ability to evolve over time.
How it is produced
The Moscato Giallo and Traminer Aromatico grapes are dried to preserve their natural varietal intensity. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature for about twenty-five days, ensuring maximum expressive clarity. The wine then undergoes ageing in steel for six months, which helps to stabilise the freshness and structure of the flavour profile. The production cycle concludes with a four-month rest in the bottle, necessary to complete the sensory harmony before tasting.
History and Curiosities
The Regaleali Diamante Passito was created from the intuition of Count Giuseppe Tasca d’Almerita to celebrate his sixtieth wedding anniversary. Initially reserved for private occasions, this refined sweet wine has over time become an iconic label of the Regaleali Estate. The result of a skilful blend of Moscato Giallo and Traminer Aromatico, it offers a smooth, sweet and fragrant sip, enriched by intense notes of candied fruit. This Sicilian masterpiece is ideal for accompanying any dessert at the end of a meal.
