Buonsenso Catarratto 2022 Sicilia DOC - Tasca d'Almerita Tenuta Regaleali

Buonsenso, a Sicilian white wine from very late Catarratto grapes

HISTORY

From Catarratto grapes grown in the hills of Tenuta Regaleali, Buonsenso is born, a good-tasting Sicilian white wine.

The grapes that make up this wine are a very late variety, even later than some reds.

The result is a wine of great quality, very elegant, fine and with a very fragrant bouquet where pink grapefruit, yellow peach and green tea stand out.

On the palate it is pleasantly acidic, fresh and very long-lasting.

The name Buonsenso derives from the fact that the Tasca family says "If you have a shred of common sense, in our territory Catarratto is the variety to grow". From this phrase comes the name Buonsenso, "the good wine that pleases the senses"
