For almost two centuries, one of Italy's oldest and most prestigious family-owned wineries, Tasca d'Almerita, has been operating at the Regaleali Estate in the rural heart of Sicily.

It was here that Count Giuseppe Tasca d'Almerita planted Perricone and Nero d'Avola as small trees on the San Lucio hill in 1959, investing in a future that few Sicilians could imagine at the time. Doing so, he laid the foundations for the first wine from a single vineyard in Sicily: Riserva del Conte, later called Rosso del Conte, worthy of competition with the best European and New World vintages. His son Lucio continued the quest for excellence, planting the first international varieties in Sicily and modernising Tasca d'Almerita's winemaking facilities.

Today, Lucio's son Alberto Tasca passionately upholds his father's and grandfather's dedication to quality and passion for innovation and research. He has expanded and enriched this legacy with a focus on sustainability, which is expressed in the patient, attentive and age-old care of the territories where Tasca lives and works.

Starting in 2001, with a detailed project to enhance the value of particularly suitable territories, he has driven the systematic expansion of the company – Regaleali has been joined over time by other Estates: Capofaro in Salina, Tascante on Mount Etna, Whitaker in Mozia and Sallier de La Tour in the Monreale DOC territory. The bond that unites each of these estates is Sicily itself.

Tasca d'Almerita has been a part of the SOStain programme since 2009, committing to a process of continuous improvement that has over time led it to reduce the impact of its activities in the vineyard, in the cellar and throughout the organisation.

A constant commitment that has resulted in Tasca d'Almerita receiving the "European Winery of the Year" award from Wine Enthusiast magazine and the prestigious Green Emblem from Robert Parker Wine Advocate, an acknowledgement given by one of the most important critics in the international wine world to companies that have demonstrated extraordinary efforts in the search for virtuous agricultural and oenological practices, with an eye to long-term environmental protection and the safeguarding of biodiversity.
Tasca d' Almerita is now a certified B Corp and has become part of a small international network organisations that meet high standards of social and environmental performance, responsibility, and transparency. Tasca d’Almerita is the first Sicilian winery to achieve this milestone, recognising a great commitment to the development of sustainable viticulture which is mindful of the planet and the community.
