Sclafani County DOC Chardonnay 'Vigna San Francesco' 2022 (750 ml.) Tasca d'Almerita
Chardonnay 'Vigna San Francesco' Contea di Sclafani by Tasca Conti d'Almerita originates from the most famous Sicilian grape in the world. Lucio Tasca more than 30 years ago he planted it in Regaleali, at the bottom of the hill of San Francesco. This white wine also owes its great complexity and elegance to the alcoholic fermentation carried out in French oak barrels, from Allier and Tronçais, where it rests for 8 months. Intense, soft, very rich and balanced, with a beautifully fresh finish. On the palate it is complex and fruity, with hints of white flowers, exotic fruit and citrus fruits accompanied by notes of white pepper, butter and vanilla.

THE COMPANY
Our story is written in the land, the same land where for eight generations we have dedicated the attention and love that you devote to a family member. Our grandparents taught us to respect the land, keeping an eye on the future. And this vision, still today, allows us to have thriving vineyards and rich, fertile land to farm. Over the years, a precise project to enhance and develop native varieties and territories with greater wine-growing vocation led us to expand. In addition to the historical estate, Regaleali, we now have Capofaro on Salina, in the Aeolian islands; Tascante on Mount Etna; Whitaker on Mozia in the province of Trapani; and Sallier de La Tour in the DOC Monreale area. Each of these estates has a story to tell, each one recounts a different Sicily. The greatest challenge for us now is that of preserving these places to leave our children a better environment, with constant attention to safeguarding each individual ecosystem.
THE PHILOSOPHY
We respect the land and its rhythms
We grow grapes in five different estates in Sicily – Regaleali, Capofaro, Tascante, Whitaker and Sallier de La Tour – each with its own characteristics. Different soils and climates spread across the Island and give life to a long harvest season that starts in mid-August and ends between the end of October and the beginning of November. For generations, men and women have been working alongside us, helping us to keep the pace with the seasons. We also tell about Sicily and its products through the cooking school, where the raw materials dictate the calendar. Together with the vineyards, in our fields there are olive trees and almond trees, wheat, vegetable gardens, livestock grazing, fruit orchards, all growing in their own time. Because in our world, nature is not in a hurry.
