Tenuta Regaleali Cavallo delle Fate Grillo Sicilia

There are many Grillo wines from the Italian island of Sicily, but this one is certainly one of the kings. This Tasca Grillo Cavallo delle Fate is truly exceptional, made from very old vines planted in Sicily's finest vineyards. The Grillo grape has become the Sicilian grape, and not surprisingly. It thrives in the warm climate and now produces beautiful, full harvests. This white wine from Tasca is also one of the island's powerful and highly refined Grillo wines.

The old vineyard of Tasca with Grillo

For this white Cavallo delle Fate, the grapes are grown in the original first vineyard near Palermo. Here, the sun and fresh sea breeze provide the perfect climate for the Grillo to thrive. The grapes grow peacefully and are given time to develop, as the winemaker removes many bunches. This allows the remaining bunches to become fuller and more powerful. And after being harvested by hand, this Grillo simply matures in steel vats. The juice is so incredibly good, the winemaker explains, "there's no need to touch anything else."

The smell and taste of the Tasca Grillo

This full-bodied Grillo is truly exceptional! Thanks to the abundant sunshine of Sicily, it has developed into a refreshing, invigorating wine. The aroma is delightfully vibrant, with abundant fine white fruit, floral notes, apple and passion fruit, and a hint of melon. This Grillo Cavallo delle Fate from Tasca Winery has a full and powerful flavor, with lovely hints of apricot, citrus, and white fruit. A pleasant acidity rounds it all off perfectly! Pair this white wine with dishes, and a piece of grilled fish is delicious, as are smoked chicken, salads, and pasta dishes.
