Description
The cricket in fairy tale tradition is a faithful advisor chosen by fairies to ride through the woods. It announces happy events, and its song accompanies the sounds of the night. The Grillo is an ancient variety, historically widespread in the Trapani area as a base for Marsala wine. At Regaleali, it has been cultivated for years in the vineyard next to Case Vecchie. The company tries to play on the different harvest times: one as an early harvest to obtain freshness and minerality and the other as a late harvest to give structure and a base for ageing.
