The Prize

Take home this 1.5 liter magnum of Cabernet Sauvignon, Vigna San Francesco 2012, Tenuta Regaleali.

A family home since 1830, Regaleali is the symbol of a blood bond between nature and Tasca d’Almerita; they share intertwining histories that could not exist without the other. Everything began on the land between Valledolmo and Sclafani Bagni and the company continues to design new strategies and new adventures here today.

This is a unique territory and an exceptional mixture of natural and human resources which have been a part of its journey from feudal peasant land to wine estate and continue to fuel the centuries-old philosophy of Regaleali, where 387 hectares of vineyards live together with 30 hectares of olive groves , 35 hectares of farmland and 30 hectares for grazing.

The Cabernet Sauvignon – similar to the Chardonnay, a variety that wasn’t recognized by the guideline of the time – was planted for the first time in Sicily at the Regaleali Estate in 1985. Produced from a single vineyard, on the top of the San Francesco hill, with a South-West exposure, at a 570-meter altitude, with a sand, loam and clay soil composition. It ages in new 225 liter barriques, with a fine and medium grain, for 18 months. A strong and austere wine with a multi-toned typical freshness.

Please note: The minimum age for alcohol consumption varies from country to country.
