Casillero del Diablo Sauvignon Blanc White Wine 1.5L vs Santa Tresa Grillo Viognier Organic 2024

Santa Tresa Grillo Viognier Organic 2024

Santa Tresa Rina Ianca is an innovative blend of Grillo , an indigenous Sicilian grape, and Viognier, perfectly suited to the warm, sun-drenched vineyards of Sicily . The minerality and freshness of Grillo is beautifully balanced by the intensity and body of Viognier. Straw yellow in colour, the wine opens with layered aromas of white fruits, including peaches, evolving into delicate notes of apricot and fresh herbs. The palate is mineral-driven yet soft, well balanced, and finishes elegantly. Why You'll Love It This is certified organic Sicilian white wine crafted with exceptional care. Viognier is harvested at the end of August, with Grillo picked in early September, both chilled overnight at 6–8°C to preserve aromatic intensity.

Fermentation takes place in stainless steel at 17–19°C for 10–12 days to retain freshness, followed by four months of lees ageing to add texture and complexity.
