Rapitala Alto Reale Sicily 2020 750ml

Royal heights demand royal wines, and Alto Reale - 'Royal High' - reigns over Sicily from elevated vineyards that touch the clouds. This 2020 captures the majesty of altitude, creating wine that rules from above with benevolent power.

At 600 meters, Alto Reale's vineyards experience Sicily differently - cooler nights, intense sun, constant wind. The 2020 vintage brought ideal conditions to these heights, allowing for slow ripening that preserves freshness while building complexity.

The aromatics soar to royal heights. There's a lifted quality that speaks to altitude - red fruits seem lighter, flowers more delicate, everything more refined. Yet concentration remains, creating complexity that satisfies while inspiring.

On the palate, elevation's advantages multiply. The texture combines richness with freshness, power with elegance. This is royal wine that doesn't oppress - it leads by example, showing how height can enhance rather than dominate. The finish extends with regal persistence.

Rapitalà's 2020 Alto Reale proves that Sicily's greatness isn't confined to sea level. By embracing altitude's advantages, they create wine worthy of its royal name. For those seeking Sicilian elegance over power, this highland monarch rules wisely.
