Chardonnay in Sicily. Cultivated and elaborated with wisdom, in the unequalled terrain of
Regaleali, it scales the heights of perfection by marrying in a surprising way the refinement of
this international vine with the radiance of the Mediterranean. Fame and prestige accompany
the Chardonnay Tasca d’Almerita in its 1989 debut. Exceptional 100% vinification, unique
sensations, precious, both powerful and delicate, produced with rigour in limited quantity.
