Rosso del Conte

San Lucio is the first “grande vigna” created on the Tenuta Regaleali in 1959, from which the first and following editions of Rosso del Conte were born. Here two varieties coexist: Perricone and Nero d’Avola. They have a similar vegetative cycle: they are fairly late ripening grapes, ripening on average between late September and early October. The Rosso del Conte is a faithful expression of its terroir, recalling the high hills in the heart of Sicily. On the aromatic level, Rosso del Conte never exaggerates in overripe notes, while guaranteeing full phenolic ripeness. A wine that is exuberant, vibrant, and energetic in its youth, with aging it develops a velvety touch, without losing structure and flavor. In its long history it has experienced various production approaches, particularly in its aging technique: chestnut barrels, Slavonian oak, small French oak barrels. But all the while maintaining its peculiar identity.

Grande Vigna San Lucio

A terroir rich in biodiversity

Tenuta Regaleali’s oldest vineyard covers about 7 hectares, of which 5.5 hectares were planted in 1959 with a mix of both Perricone and Nero d’Avola vines. The rest, about 1.5 hectares, was planted in 1965 with Nero d’Avola only. The altitude is 480 m.a.s.l, the exposure is south-southeast. It is grown using the bush vine system, the oldest and most widespread form of cultivation in the semi-arid regions of the Mediterranean. As in the past, the vine density is 4,400 vines per hectare, obtained by arranging the vines at a distance of 1.5 meters from each other.

Soil

the Vineyard represents the personality of a wine

The soil is yellowish brown, loamy-sandy, somewhat calcareous, with a slight presence of stones; the pH is slightly alkaline (8.5).
