Grillo 'Cavallo delle Fate' Tenuta Regaleali - Tasca d'Almerita 2024
Der Grillo "Cavallo delle Fate" ist ein junger und frischer Wein, aber mit guter aromatischer Fülle: Aromen von frischen Früchten, Zitrusfrüchten und Wiesenblumen verleihen Komplexität und Genuss in einem weichen, umhüllenden, mineralischen und unmittelbaren Schluck. Ein schöner Ausdruck von Sizilien und einer ihrer berühmtesten Rebsorten
The Grillo “Cavallo delle Fate” is a Sicilian wine characterized by a pleasant aromatic complexity. Freshness and minerality combine with a good structure, making this label produced by Tasca d’Almerita within the Tenuta Regaleali a white with a friendly profile, which never disappoints expectations at the table, being enjoyed both during aperitif time and throughout the meal. Nothing better than a beautiful native presented in purity to fully savor the beauty of Sicily in a glass of wine.
This “Cavallo delle Fate” is made from pure Grillo grapes, cultivated by the Tasca D’Almerita winery in the area between Sant’Anna and Piana Case Vecchie, where the Tenuta Regaleali is located. We find ourselves in a deep terroir, where clay predominates and there is also a good percentage of limestone, at about 480 meters above sea level. The must, obtained from the soft pressing of the grapes, ferments in stainless steel containers at a controlled temperature ranging between 16 and 18degrees, without undergoing malolactic fermentation. Still in steel, on the lees, the aging phase then takes place, lasting 4 months, after which the bottling and marketing operations are carried out.
The “Cavallo delle Fate” Grillo presents itself visually with a vivid straw yellow color, decidedly bright and luminous. Rich, complex, and layered is the olfactory journey, where notes of fresh fruit and citrus blend with hints that lean more towards floral. On the palate, it is full-bodied, balanced, characterized by a sip with a salty and fresh taste, which encourages drinking. Excellent to consume in combination with dishes and recipes where fish, even raw, is the undisputed star of the table.
