Regaleali Rosso has been Tasca's everyday red since 1968: a multi-varietal native blend of Nero d'Avola, Perricone and Nerello Mascalese showing the breadth of the Regaleali plateau's terroir.

What it pairs with

  • Pasta con salsiccia
    An everyday Sicilian red that suits pork sausage pasta reliably.
  • Roast chicken with herbs
    Medium body and herbal notes pair comfortably with roast chicken.
  • Caponata
    Warm red fruit and medium tannin hold their own against the sweet-sour intensity of caponata.

History

Regaleali Rosso is one of Sicily's longest-running estate reds, predating the island's fine-wine revolution. It uses native varieties from the Regaleali plateau and has always been the workhorse red of the Tasca range.
