| Rosso del Conte 2005 doc Tasca d' Almerita |
Towards the end of the 60’s, Count Giuseppe decided to create a special reserve of Regaleali
Rosso, capable of aging like other great international red wines. A challenge he won in 1970
and renewed in successive vintages.
A wine long meditated upon, fruit of a research run with rigour and passion for many years
both among the vines and in the cellar.
Rosso del Conte is produced with Nero d’Avola from plants over forty years old cultivated as
shrubs almost unique today in Sicily. |
