- An extremely complex, intense bouquet of wild berries, walnuts, cinnamon and tobacco leads to a richly concentrated, mouth filling palate that combines thrilling old-vine depth with deftness and elegance. Exuberant, vibrant, and energetic in its youth, with aging it develops a velvety tactile texture, without losing tone or taste progression. In its long history, it has known different stylistic variations, in particular in the technique of aging: chestnut barrels, Slavonian oak, and small French oak barrels. However, it always maintains its unique identity.

The vines are cultivated as bushes, the oldest and most widespread technique in the semi-arid regions of the Mediterranean. The planting density, amounting to 4,400 plants per hectare, is also classic and is realised by placing the vines at a distance of 1.5 metres from each other. On the Regaleali Estate, short pruning is adopted for ged varieties, with three spurs of two buds. Often short pruning is carried out in association with a brace for tying up the shoots that develop strong the spurs. The two varieties, Perricone and Nero d'Avala have a similar vegetative cycle: they are fairly late grapes, which ripen on average between the end of September and the beginning of October. Faithful expression of the territory from which it comes - the high hills in the centre of Sicily - on an aromatic level, Rosso del Conte never exceeds in overripe notes while still ensuring a full phenolic maturation. Exuberant, vibrant, and energetic in its youth, with ageing it develops a velvety tactile texture, without losing tone or taste progression.

| Winery | San Lucio was the first large vineyard established on the Regaleali Estate, from which the first and subsequent editions of Rosso del Conte were created. It covers about 7 hectares, of which 5.5 were planted in 1959 with mixed plants of Perricone and Nero d'Avola, while a portion of about 1.5 hectares was planted in 1965 solely wid. Nero d Avola. The vineyard is 480 meters above sea level, with a south-south-east exposure. The soil is yellowish brown, loamy-sandy, and partly calcareous, with a slight amount of skeletons; the pH is slightly alkaline (8.5). The oldest vineyard of Regaleali usually gives a medium level of vigor to the vines, a prerequisite for the balanced ripening of red medium-late grapes. It is capable of resisting the effects of extreme climates, whether hot or cold, and produces only a few grams of grapes per plant, but of an incredible constancy in quality. |
