Vinification:

The grapes are gently pressed after the harvest. The must is fermented in steel tanks for around 15 days and matured for three months. Bottling takes place shortly after clarification.

Tasting note:

Pale straw yellow with greenish reflections. Delicate, fragrant nose with notes of green apple and citrus fruit. Refreshingly juicy and dry on the palate, with flavours of yellow stone fruit, some honey and grapefruit. The mild acidity makes this wine a real pleasure.

Tenuta Regaleali:

They are the undisputed Sicilian pioneers to whom the island's modern viticulture owes a great deal: the Conti Tasca d'Almerita, lords of the magnificent Tenuta Regaleali feudal estate. In addition to the imposing estate with livestock farming, arable farming, olives and viticulture, the empire includes four other tenuta: Tascante (in the Etna region), Capofaro (on the island of Salina), Sallier de La Tour (in the Monreale region) and the Fondazione Whitaker vineyards in Mozia (in the Marsala area).

Count Lucio, assisted by his sons Alberto and Giuseppe, manages this agricultural mosaic with prudence and expertise. The estate's wines, grown on a total of 360 hectares of vines in partly high vineyards at up to 900 metres above sea level, which are renowned for their freshness, impress with their diversity, silky elegance and Mediterranean charm. And last but not least, their excellent value for money.
