The Chardonnay Vigna San Francesco Contea di Sclafani DOC by Tenuta Regaleali from the Tasca d'Almerita winery is an intense golden yellow with greenish reflections in the glass. The nose reveals complex aromas of pineapple, apple and peach, citrus notes, complemented by undertones of pear, candied pineapple, white chocolate and brioche. On the palate, this Sicilian Chardonnay delights with its elegant structure, fullness and balance, supported by a natural, pleasant acidity. The finish is long, harmonious, soft and creamy.
The 2017 Sicilia Chardonnay Vigna San Francesco Tenuta Regaleali (with 40,000 bottles made) is rich with candied orange and pistachio cream. This is a full-bodied white with pretty accents of Sicilian wide-leaf oregano and rosemary that give extra lift and energy to the bouquet. Compared to the other full-bodied Chardonnays from Sicily (samples from Planeta and Tenuta Rapitalà were in this same flight), this wine is slightly more defined by citrus and mountain herbs. It is less overtly opulent. The quality is excellent across the board on all these wines, but each boasts a distinct personality.

Sicily is the largest island in the Mediterranean and has a long history of wine production dating back to ancient times. The island's warm climate and volcanic soil provide ideal conditions for growing a variety of grapes, including Nero d'Avola, Grillo, and Catarratto.

Sicilian wines are known for their bold, full-bodied flavors and high alcohol content. Red wines from the region are particularly popular, with Nero d'Avola being the most widely planted grape variety. These wines are characterized by their dark fruit flavors, such as black cherry and plum, and often have a spicy finish.

White wines from Sicily are also gaining popularity, with Grillo being the most commonly used grape variety. These wines are known for their crisp acidity and citrus flavors, such as lemon and grapefruit.

In addition to wine, Sicily is also known for its production of Marsala, a fortified wine made from a blend of white grapes. This wine is aged for a minimum of one year and has a rich, caramel-like flavor.

Overall, Sicily is a region with a rich history of wine production and a diverse range of styles to offer. Its wines are gaining recognition on the international stage and are definitely worth exploring.
