Merk: Tasca d'Almerita

An ancient variety, a cross between Zibibbo and Catarratto, for a wine with concentrated aroma and complexity. In Regaleali it is grown on the hill next to Case Vecchie. We try to play on the different harvest times: one part in advance, to obtain freshness and minerality, and the remaining part to give structure and body. Just like in fairy tales, "Once upon a time", and there is still the Fairy Horse.
