Tasting Notes: Brilliant, straw yellow in color, the nose expresses a complex aroma of fresh fruit, citrus and typically Mediterranean floral notes. On the palate it is fresh and persistent, characterized by a distinct savoriness and good structure. It closes with a very clean finish.
Pairings: Excellent as an aperitif, goes well with light, summer dishes. On all kinds of salads.
Considerations: The cricket in the tradition of fairy tales is a faithful adviser, chosen by fairies to ride through the woods. It announces happy events and with its song accompanies the sounds of the night. An ancient variety, historically widespread in the Trapani area as a base for Marsala, at Regaleali it has been grown for years in the vineyard next to Case Vecchie. It is a wine that can count on different harvest times: some of it early, to derive freshness and minerality, and the remainder to provide structure and a base for aging. Once upon a time, and still is. A traveling companion.
