Tasca d'Almerita has farmed Tenuta Regaleali, a 550 hectare estate in the hills of central Sicily, since 1830, and the family is now in its eighth generation on the land. Four further estates widen the map: Tascante on Etna, Capofaro on Salina, Whitaker on the island of Mozia and Sallier de La Tour at Monreale. Certified B Corp and a driving force behind Sicily's SOStain sustainability protocol, the house also receives visitors at Regaleali, on Etna and at its Capofaro resort.

Book this experienceAn estate experience at the 1830 mother property in central Sicily, moving through the history, landscape and food and wine traditions the Tasca family has kept alive at Regaleali for eight generations.
Book this experienceIn 1830 the brothers Lucio and Carmelo Mastrogiovanni Tasca bought 1200 hectares in the Regaleali contrada, in the old county of Sclafani between Palermo and Caltanissetta. The estate has been handed down through eight generations since, each adding a chapter: Conte Giuseppe Tasca created Nozze d'Oro in 1984 to mark his golden wedding anniversary with Contessa Franca, while his son Lucio quietly planted Sicily's first experimental rows of international varieties at the estate, four rows per type, without telling his father. Rosso del Conte, the estate's flagship red from old vines in the heart of Regaleali, saw its first vintage in 1970 and remains one of the reference wines of the island. Alberto Tasca leads the company today.
Tenuta Regaleali, now 550 hectares of vines, grain, olive and almond trees, anchors the range: Rosso del Conte and Riserva del Conte under the tiny Contea di Sclafani DOC, the Almerita metodo classico sparklings, and the Sicilia DOC line from Regaleali Bianco and Nero d'Avola up to Cygnus, Lamuri and the Vigna San Francesco Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay. On Etna, Tenuta Tascante bottles Nerello Mascalese and Carricante as Etna DOC, including the single-contrada wines Pianodario, Rampante and Sciaranuova. Capofaro on Salina grows Malvasia delle Lipari vines for the Salina IGT whites, Tenuta Whitaker revives Grillo on the ancient Phoenician island of Mozia, and Sallier de La Tour at Monreale is the house's home of Syrah, led by La Monaca. Diamante and Leone bottle aromatic blends as Terre Siciliane IGT.
Sustainability is structural rather than decorative. Tasca d'Almerita helped shape the SOStain programme for Sicilian viticulture from its origins in 2010, supports the SOStain Sicilia Foundation established in 2020, and measures everything from biodiversity protection to energy use under the protocol's ten requirements. The company is also a certified B Corp, a distinction still rare among Italian wineries, and farms with organic defence methods across its estates.
Visiting takes three forms. At Regaleali, the family opens the mother estate for tours and tastings built around its history and kitchen traditions, with the Anna Tasca Lanza cooking school working from Case Vecchie within the property. On Etna, Tascante's Three Keys of Etna walk crosses terraced vineyards with views of the volcano before a tasting of Buonora, Tefra and Ghiaia Nera. And on Salina, Capofaro is a working Malvasia vineyard that doubles as a resort, with rooms, dining and experiences above the Aeolian sea. Visits are arranged through the booking forms on the official experiences pages.
