Tasca d'Almerita is a Sicilian family winery, founded in 1830 and still owned by the Tasca family, now in its eighth generation in Sicily. Alberto Tasca has led the business since 2001. The home estate is Tenuta Regaleali, which won the model farm prize in 1854.
Regaleali grows 25 grape varieties, including Nero d'Avola, Catarratto, Perricone, Nerello Mascalese and Grillo. The estate was also the first place in Sicily to plant Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay. Regaleali Bianco first appeared in 1960, a blend of Inzolia, Catarratto and Greganico. The Riserva del Conte came in 1970, from a single vineyard on San Lucio hill that was planted in 1959.
The winery has been in the SOStain programme since 2010 and was the first to hold its VIVA/SOStain certification, in 2017. It became a certified B Corp in 2023.
