Tenuta Regaleali Lamuri Sicily 2019 750ml

Walls protect treasures, and Lamùri - 'the walls' - guards Nero d'Avola of exceptional character. This 2019 from Tenuta Regaleali's ancient walled vineyard shows how protection and tradition create wines that stand strong against time.

The Lamùri vineyard's walls don't just mark boundaries - they create microclimate, protecting vines from excessive heat while concentrating their energy. The 2019 vintage rewarded this protection with fruit of unusual concentration and complexity.

The aromatics build like ancient fortifications. Layer upon layer of dark fruit, spice, and earth create complexity that seems architectural. There's a solidity here that speaks to the protected site, yet elegance too - walls that defend without imprisoning.

On the palate, Lamùri shows its structural integrity. The tannins provide framework as solid as the vineyard's walls, while concentrated fruit fills every space. This is Nero d'Avola with backbone, structure, and the ability to age like the fortress it comes from.

Tenuta Regaleali's 2019 Lamùri demonstrates that some traditions deserve protecting. By maintaining ancient walls and practices, they create wine that stands firm in a changing world. For those seeking Sicilian wine with staying power, these walls shelter liquid treasure.
