Tenuta Regaleali Vintage 2021 DOC Sicilia

Cygnus

Its name is linked to family history in homage to Richard Wagner, who, inspired by the swans of Villa Tasca in Palermo, completed the third act of “Parsifal” in 1881 in the Villa Tasca gardens. A blend of Nero d’Avola and Cabernet Sauvignon from Tenuta Regaleali, together to tell the potential of a Sicilian grape variety as well as the elegance and austerity of an international variety.
