Tenuta Regaleali Vintage 2019 DOC Sicilia

Vigna San Francesco Cabernet Sauvignon

Like Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon was a variety not recognized by the Italian regulations of the time. It was first planted in Sicily on the Tenuta Regaleali in 1979. The Cabernet Sauvignon is aged in new 225-liter fine and medium grain barriques for 18 months. A powerful and austere wine with a freshness typical of different latitudes.

Grande Vigna San Francesco

At the top of the San Francesco hill, with southwest exposure at an altitude of about 570 m.a.s.l.

Soil
