Tasca d'Almerita

Producer description of "Tasca d'Almerita"

The winery is located in the municipality of Sclafani Bagni in the province of Palermo on the island of Sicily. It was founded in 1830. At that time, the two brothers Don Lucio and Don Carmelo Mastrogiovanni Tasca acquired the former Regaleali fiefdom with around 1,200 hectares of land. The estate was managed by Lucio Baron Tasca, one of Sicily's agricultural pioneers. Under the leadership of his grandson Count Tasca of Almerita (+1892), Regaleali wine became famous far beyond the borders. His son Lucio Count Tasca Bordonaro expanded the estate and tripled the area under vines. As a result of an agricultural reform, the estate was eventually reduced to 500 hectares. From 1957, Count Giuseppe Tasca took over responsibility and devoted himself primarily to viticulture with numerous innovations. After the death of Conte Lucio Tasca in 2022, the business is now run by his sons Alberto and Giuseppe.
