One of Sicily’s oldest and finest wineries, producing top quality, indigenous varietal wines from Vittoria. In perfect harmony with nature and with ideal grape-growing weather conditions, Feudo di Santa Tresa’s vineyards benefit from the Sicilian sun and cooling sea breezes, far enough away from the sea. Here, we are able to produce organic wines with the ultimate expression of our grape varietals and the soul of Sicilian character. Considerable replanting and upgrading on the 50 hectares “terra rossa” vineyards, alongside the highest quality winemaking, results in exceptional wines.
Straw yellow in colour, it has a bouquet layered with white
fruits such as peaches, which gradually develop into notes of apricots and
herbs. On the palate, is has a wonderful minerality, it is well balanced with
a lovely softness on the finish.
Both grape varieties are vinified in a similar way. The grapes are chilled overnight in a refrigerated room to lower the temperature to 6-8°C,
thereby protecting the aromatic characteristics of the grapes. The following day, the grapes are gently destemmed and very softly pressed.
The must remains in a tank for one night at a temperature of around 10°C, allowing the natural sedimentation of all the solid particles to occur. The
wine is moved into a stainless steel tank, where fermentation takes place at 17-19°C for 10-12 days.Following fermentation, the two wines are blended together and
the wine is kept on its fine lees for around 4 months, with frequent stirring.
