WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Regaleali Nero D'Avola Sicilia DOC 2022 is produced from 100% Nero d'Avola grapes. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks at temperatures ranging from 26-28°C, with maceration lasting an average of 10 days. Malolactic fermentation is fully completed. The aging process involves a split approach: 50% of the wine matures in steel tanks, while the remaining 50% is aged for 10 months in 300- and 600-liter Slavonian oak barrels. The vineyards are situated at altitudes between 400 and 900 meters above sea level, with harvest timing determined by careful monitoring of grape maturation to ensure balance and elegance. Tasca d'Almerita emphasizes sustainable viticulture and low environmental impact in their farming practices.
