History
The history in Sicily of the Tasca d'Almerita family is described as written in the land it has safeguarded and passed down for eight generations. The brand's story is described as 200 years of history, 'a lenta maturazione' (slow maturation). The mother estate, Tenuta Regaleali, comprises 550 hectares in the heart of Sicily and has been owned by the Tasca d'Almerita family since 1830. Over the years four further estates were added: Capofaro on Salina, Tascante on Etna, the historic Tenuta Whitaker on the ancient island of Mozia, and Sallier de La Tour at Monreale. Each estate is described as having a marked personality and narrating an ever-different Sicily. Alongside the vineyards grow olive trees, wheat fields and almond trees. The stated challenge today is to preserve these places intact for future generations, with constant attention to safeguarding every single ecosystem.
