Buonsenso
Cultivated up to 900 m.a.s.l., in is one of the last varieties to be harvested on Tenuta Regaleali. The result is a truly sublime wine. Elegant, fine, with fragrant bouquet of pink grapefruit, yellow peach, green tea, in the mouth it expresses a fresh acidity that makes it long-lasting and rich on the palate. In short, if you have an ounce of common sense Catarratto is the variety to cultivate on our lands. Hence the name”Buon Senso” because it is good and pleases the senses.
