Tenuta Regaleali Tasca Cavallo delle Fate Grillo 2024

Tenuta Regaleali Tasca Cavallo delle Fate Grillo 

Tasting Note

An ancient grape variety which is a cross between Moscato and Catarratto, resulting in a wine which is concentrated with complex aromatics and a full flavour. It’s cultivated at Regaleali on the hills next to Case Vecchie. The aromas include hints of fresh citrus, Mediterranean herbs, and subtle peach undertones. It's mellow acidity balances beautifully with its fruity flavours, leading to a lingering, satisfying finish on the palate.

Food matching: perfect accompaniment to seafood, grilled vegetables, and light cheeses.

Producer

The large Regaleali estate, high in the central Sicilian hills, has been in the hands of the noble Tasca family since 1830. Ever since, the property has been run according to the best principles of the agricultural aristocracy: with one eye firmly on quality, and the other on experimentation.

Tasca’s large range is the product of the family’s most successful innovations, including short pruning for lower yields, the championing of local Inzolia and Nero d’Avola vines, the introduction of French varieties, and the use of barriques and temperature control. They have also been developing vineyards outside their main base at Regaleali.

There is wonderful passito Malvasia made on the Aeolian island of Salina, and more recently the family established their Tascante estate, on the north-facing slopes of Mount Etna. The tradition and terroir of each location is captured with great clarity in the bottle. This is a singularly accomplished and increasingly complete range of Sicilian wines.
