The small, museum-like island of Mozia in the Marsala lagoon is a production site of unparalleled uniqueness. It is a marine ecosystem that has always been linked to the vineyard. The English, who arrived in Marsala at the beginning of the 19th century and recognised the great potential there, initiated the first planting. The vines are cultivated using the Gobelet system, which is close to nature, with natural irrigation. The grapes are harvested in crates, transported to the mainland in flat-bottomed boats and then taken to the Regaleali winery in air-conditioned lorries to ensure their aromatic integrity is preserved.

Since 2007, when the Tasca family was entrusted by the Whitaker Foundation with the task of carrying out a project to promote and revitalise historic Grillo vineyards, they have been tending 12 hectares of vineyards in Mozia. It is from here that what is arguably Sicily's finest Grillo comes, unrivalled in terms of concentration and razor-sharp precision.

Pale straw yellow. Enticing, highly refined aromas of nectarine, yellow flowers, lime and minty herbs. On the palate, it is fresh, juicy and full-bodied, with a wonderful clarity and flavours of pome fruit and white stone fruit, accompanied by a lively and harmonious acidity. Its impressive finish is long and mineral. SUPERIORE.DE

"Transparent straw yellow with green highlights. A fruit-driven nose, with notes of yellow apple and liquorice, as well as a hint of elderflower. Fresh and fruit-driven on the palate, with a juicy acidity and final medium-length final." Falstaff
