Brother & sister’s green dream

A brother and sister’s love for a distant land and for an entrepreneurial wine project, devoted to sustainability.  This is the story of Trentino-based Stefano and Marina Girelli, third generation wine family, who decided to invest in Sicily, specifically in Vittoria.  The philosophy of being dedicated to sustainable practices leads to producers choosing to go organic in both the vineyard and winery in order to conserve the terroir and its unique traits.  The combination of the quality of the grapes and minimim intervention in the winery, together with vinification without the use of sulphites – this is the recipe for the wines of Santa Tresa.

Santa Tresa – “Il Grillo” is a spumate wine made using the Martinotti method.  In the glass, there is a fine perlage, with continuous rising bubbles, which release delicate, slightly citrussy aromas. On the palate, Il Grillo is an informal easy-drinking fizz, characterised by lovely fresh fruit and a perfect balance.

Santa Tresa – “Il Frappato” vino spumante rosé brut metodo is made using the Martinotti method.  In the glass it is a lively light pink colour, with fine and continuous bubbles, which release delicate aromas of strawberries and petals.  The palate of the Frappato is dry and light, with a lovely fruit and some herbal hints.

Santa Tresa – “Rina Ianca” Grillo Viognier Sicilia DOC 2019.  The sunny and easy drinking character of the Grillo and the intense floral nature of the Viognier.  On the nose there are clean, fresh aromas of white flowers (gardenia and lily of the valley) and of nectarines with hints of lemon.  On the palate, the well managed softness is perfectly balanced with the acidity and savoury notes, characteristic of the limestone terroir from which it comes.

Santa Tresa – Cerasuolo di Vittoria Docg 2018. Ageing: assembly in oak botti of 30 or 60hl and about 15% in French oak barriques.  Ageing for at least one year.  The nose is of ripe red fruit – cherries, wild strawberries and blackberries, bound together by notes of leather, sweet spices and eucalyptus.  A mouth-filling wine, but not too heavy, made lively by a very nice acidity and minerality, making it a very approachable, pleasurable wine.
