Tenuta Regaleali wines beat strongly from the heart of SicilyIn the northern heart of Sicily, about 150 miles south of Palermo, sits Tenuta Regaleali, one of five wine-estates owned by the Tasca d’Almerita family. The rich, dense wine proved that Sicily could craft quality, age-worthy wines just like Italy’s famous northern regions. (Note: Gasbarro’s Liquors on Federal Hill in Providence carries seven Regaleali wines, including Rosso del Conte.) 2016 Regaleali Nero d’Avola (SRP $15) — Nero d’Avola is Sicily’s name to fame and Regaleali has harvested this “black” native grape 62 times since the 1950s. Nothing’s ever perfect, but Regaleali’s given Nero d’Avola a lot of care and attention over the years.
