“REGALEALI LE ROSE” ROSATO TERRE SICILIANE IGT Thousands of roses, brought in from all over the world, thrive on the Regaleali estate.

The grapes are fermented in stainless steel tanks and partiallymaceratedwith the skins of Nero D’Avola. Le Rose is also refined for three months in stainless steel tanks. It is ready to be enjoyed immediately upon release. Regaleali is the name of the estate, which comes from the Arabic, “Rahal-ali,” or House of Ali.
