About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The Regaleali estate lies high in the hills of central Sicily.

Vinification

Fermentation takes place in steel tanks at 26–28 °C.

Ageing

The wine ages for six months, divided equally between Slavonian oak barrels and steel tanks. It then matures in bottle for at least three months.
