Produced by the historic Tasca d’Almerita family, whose connection to the Regaleali estate dates back to 1830, it offers an elegant, fruit-led alternative to fuller-bodied reds and reflects a modern commitment to organic farming and sustainable vineyard management.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBright ruby in colour, this Frappato opens with lively aromas of red berries, ripe cherry and delicate floral notes, complemented by a subtle spicy freshness. The palate is light and vibrant, with juicy red-fruit flavours, refreshing acidity and gentle tannins that create a balanced, graceful finish. Its unoaked style preserves the grape’s varietal freshness and makes it best enjoyed young, while it should remain appealing over the short term when properly stored.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe grapes come from the historic Sclafani Bagni property in Sicily, where vineyards sit at approximately 460 metres above sea level with a south-western exposure. The vines are cultivated using organic farming methods in moderately fine, lightly calcareous soils, with a balanced mix of sand and clay that supports steady ripening. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel at controlled temperatures, followed by around ten days of skin maceration, malolactic fermentation and maturation in steel tanks. This wood-free approach protects the purity of the fruit and the wine’s characteristic freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eServe slightly cool, at around 14–16°C, to emphasise its freshness and delicate structure. Its lively profile pairs well with grilled or roasted meats, pork dishes, charcuterie, Mediterranean cuisine and a selection of mature or semi-hard cheeses. Decanting is not necessary, although opening the bottle shortly before serving or giving it a gentle swirl in the glass can help release its aromas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTasca d’Almerita has been dedicated to Sicilian winegrowing since 1830, with the Regaleali estate becoming one of the island’s most recognised names. The family has played an important role in demonstrating the diversity and quality of Sicily’s native grape varieties, including Frappato, which has been elevated from a traditional blending component to a refined varietal wine. Research, careful vineyard management and a strong focus on organic practices and biodiversity protection remain central to the estate’s approach.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tasca d'Almerita","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54961723146577,"sku":"XW-62415","price":17.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.com\/products\/tenuta-regaleali-sicilia-frappato-2025","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
