Trinchero Family Estates (TFE) said it was named Tenuta Regaleali‘s sales and marketing partner in the U.S., effective immediately. Beginning in January 2022, TFE will distribute, market and sell 13 wines ranging in suggested retail price from $14 to $200, including the notable Rosso del Conte – one of Sicily’s most collected single-vineyard wines that was first produced in 1970.
The partnership between Trinchero Family Estates and Tenuta Regaleali complements a growing collection of like-minded family-owned Italian wineries, including Ceretto, Famiglia Cotarella and San Polo, with whom TFE has partnered in recent years.
“The Tasca family is one of the foremost winemaking families in Sicily and leaders in sustainability,” said Bob Torkelson, president/CEO of Trinchero Family Estates. “We look forward to working with them on their flagship estate, Tenuta Regaleali, to further grow the reputation and success of these great wines in the U.S. market.”
Tenuta Regaleali has produced wine in the heart of Sicily since 1830, and is led today by Alberto Tasca d’Almerita, the eighth-generation chief executive officer who oversees the company’s five Sicilian estates including the historic Tenuta Regaleali comprised of 1,400 acres and spanning elevations from 1,400 feet to 2,700 feet. The Tasca family has prioritized company-wide sustainability and is recognized for their impressive environmental efforts on an international scale. The storied Regaleali estate has allowed them to be extraordinary cultivators and caretakers of Sicilian agriculture, from indigenous varietals to experimental vineyards.
