Tenuta Regaleali Vigna San Francesco Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

Tenuta Regaleali Vigna San Francesco Cabernet Sauvignon 2012 is a standout Sicilian expression of one of the world’s most iconic red grapes, crafted in purity from the historic Regaleali estate. It combines international Cabernet Sauvignon character with the sunlit depth and originality of Sicily, and has helped draw global attention to the island’s potential for producing serious, award-winning wines.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a deep, concentrated ruby color that hints at its structure and depth. The nose is classically Cabernet in profile, with ripe blackcurrant, dark cherry, and plum layered with notes of Mediterranean herbs, cedar, spice, and a subtle earthy complexity. On the palate, it is full-bodied and polished, with firm but well-integrated tannins, vivid dark fruit, and a balanced freshness that reflects its Sicilian origins. The finish is long and composed, with savoury spice and graphite-like nuances. This is a wine with excellent aging potential, capable of developing greater complexity over time.

Production
Produced at the Regaleali estate in Sicily, the wine comes from a site that has long served as a testing ground for international varieties adapted to the island’s climate and soils. The vineyard benefits from a warm Mediterranean terroir tempered by altitude and diurnal shifts, which help preserve freshness and aromatics. Cabernet Sauvignon is vinified in purity, with careful harvesting and cellar work aimed at preserving fruit intensity, structure, and elegance.

Food & Serving
This Cabernet Sauvignon pairs beautifully with grilled or roasted red meats, lamb, game, aged cheeses, and hearty Mediterranean dishes. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 1–2 hours if drinking young to allow the wine to open fully and soften its tannins.

Producer
Tasca d’Almerita is one of Sicily’s most historic and respected wine families, with roots on the island stretching back nearly two centuries. Through the Regaleali estate, the producer has played a major role in elevating Sicilian wine on the international stage, earning wide recognition for quality, innovation, and a deep connection to place. Their work with both native and international varieties has made them a benchmark name in southern Italian winemaking.
