Tenuta Regaleali Vintage 2022 DOC Sicilia

Guarnaccio

First described in 1735, Perricone, or what the vignerons of Tenuta Regaleali once called “Guarnaccio” has been cultivated on the estate since 1959. A selection of vines from the historic San Lucio vineyard has been used to create new vineyards from which this wine comes. Rich in polyphenols and with spicy aromas, the Guarnaccio evokes memories of an ancient winemaking tradition.
