Sicily and Puglia are the regions where grape Regina is present the mostly. This grape is also quite resistant while in transportation which is a very useful feature for trade. Its berries are large, ellipsoid with a rather thick skin and very rich pulp thanks to a high concentration of sugar that makes it sweet. Regina is a Muscat aroma grape of golden color. Regina is not particularly vigor but it is very productive. It is harvested in August.
