Tasting Notes: Brilliant, straw yellow in color with clear greenish highlights, the nose expresses a broad and varied olfactory spectrum: grapefruit, white peach, green apple, pineapple and citrus fruits in general. The palate is fresh, pleasantly soft, rich, intense and fragrant. It closes with a pleasant sensation of sweet, ripe fruit.
Pairings: Excellent as an aperitif, goes well with all seafood dishes. Ideal with sushi and sashimi.
Considerations: It is the epitome of the aromatic freshness of white grapes grown in the high hills, up to 900 meters. Underlying this is Tenuta Regaleali's large temperature range between day and night, a characteristic that leads to great balance and good acidity. A Lion, symbol of the estate's brand, for a wine that is striking in its aromatic intensity and fresh pleasantness.
