Label / history
The Sallier de La Tour winemaking project began in 2008. Filiberto Sallier de La Tour, Prince of Camporeale, a gentleman farmer, asked his cousin, the owner of Tasca d'Almerita, to take care of his "Tascase" estate. From the start the project focused on Syrah, considered the best way to express the estate's terroir while keeping its own character.
