How to serve it
Tasting notes
Pale straw yellow with green glints. The nose is markedly aromatic, with rose petal, elderflower, white peach and a touch of tropical fruit from the Traminer and Muscat in the blend. The palate is decisive and slender rather than broad, with lively acidity and a clean, dry finish.
About this wine
Tasca d'Almerita makes its wines at the Regaleali estate in central Sicily, in the family's hands since 1830. Leone is an aromatic white blend drawn from the highest plots, between 500 and 900 metres, where native Catarratto meets a group of international aromatic varieties.
Fermentation runs about fifteen days in stainless steel at 14-16 °C with no malolactic fermentation, after which the wine spends four months on its lees in steel. The altitude does the work here: it keeps acidity high and lets the aromatic grapes stay precise rather than heady.
