Leone Blend' Tenuta Regaleali - Tasca d'Almerita 2024

The "Leone Blend," produced at the Regaleali Estate of the famous Sicilian winery Tasca d'Almerita, is a fascinating blended white wine that captivates with its rich aromatic facet. The base of the cuvée is the native Sicilian grape variety Catarratto, which gives structure and citrusy freshness, joined by the refined elegance of Pinot Blanc and the delicately aromatic notes of Sauvignon Blanc, Traminer Aromatico and Moscato. The result is a fragrant, intense and fruity wine that expresses a perfect balance between the sweetness of ripe fruit and clear saline freshness.

Tasca d'Almerita's "Leone Blend" white wine was born in the territory of Tenuta Regaleali, a wonderful estate of more than 600 hectares located in the center of Sicily. The vineyards are located in a high hillside area, at an altitude between 500 and 900 meters above sea level, in an area with a cool, breezy climate and characterized by significant temperature swings between day and night temperatures. After the grapes have been softly pressed, the free-run juice is fermented in stainless steel tanks at a temperature of 14-16 °C. Before bottling, the wine matures for 4 months in stainless steel tanks to maintain the richness of aromas and flavors.

The white wine "Leone Blend" Tenuta Regaleali by Tasca d'Almerita, represents a true synthesis of the perfumes and aromas of the territory. It is a balanced blend of white grapes with a fragrant and fruity character, with pleasant aromatic notes, which enhance its taste.

The palate is soft, pleasantly rich, with a broad, juicy sip that stretches harmoniously toward a fresh, lingering finish. This is a young white, particularly suitable for accompanying seafood appetizers or first courses with fish or vegetables.
