Prices incl. VAT plus shipping costs
The Leone d' Almerita Terre Siciliane IGT from Tasca d' Almerita is a wonderful white cuvée from the house of Tasca.
In the glass this white wine glows straw yellow with greenish reflections, on the nose it smells of apple, almond blossoms, white peach, pineapple, banana and pink grapefruit. On the palate, Leone d' Almerita has a fresh, crisp acidity, harmoniously blended with fruity flavours and a pleasing long finish.
Vinification of the Leone d' Almerita
For this white wine the autochthonous grape variety Cataratto plays the leading role with 58%, 16% Pinot Blanc, 15% Sauvignon Blanc and 11% Gewürztraminer. The grapes are produced from the altitudes between 500 and 900 m. and harvested in the vineyards of Tenuta Regaleali, then fermented at a controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks.
