Experimentation and research, in the vineyard and in the cellar, are expressions of the
tendency towards total quality that we find today in this year’s Leone d’Almerita. The great
size of the Regaleali Estate and the crucial overnight thermal excursion of more than 15°
C make it possible to freely choose which varieties to plant while ensuring the conservation
of the aromatic qualities of the grapes. This is how the new Leone d’Almerita was born -
fresh, aromatic taste and a clear personality, which combines the aromas and fragrances of
Catarratto Bianco and the smoothness of Chardonnay.
