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. After gentle destemming and soft pressing, the must settles overnight at 10°C for natural sedimentation. 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.

The nose reveals ripe apple, pear, and subtle floral notes alongside a touch of honeyed richness. The palate is rounded and juicy — bright acidity, a hint of stone-fruit sweetness, and a refreshing, mineral-tinged finish that lingers. Perfect Pairings Wonderfully versatile at the table. Excellent with shellfish, white fish, roast poultry, soft cheeses, and light vegetarian dishes.
