Why You'll Love It
A fun, sleek, refreshing white blend that marries the crisp citrus of Sicily's local Grillo variety, with the classy weight and softness of Viognier. Bags of stone fruit here in the way of peaches and apricots with a herbal, tangy, tarragon edge. The palate is wonderfully mineral and deep with a lovely fresh acidity making everything feel balanced and delicious. Rina Ianca means white sand in Sicilian, and indeed a taste transports me to the beach... A lovely pairing with seafood risotto or a spinach and ricotta ravioli.
About The Producer
Santa Tresa is an organic estate in the south-east of Sicily, near the historic town of Vittoria. The estate combines a deep respect for Sicilian agricultural tradition with a modern, sustainability-led approach to farming. Everything at Santa Tresa is guided by the belief that healthy vineyards create healthier ecosystems, with organic viticulture sitting at the heart of the estate’s philosophy for decades. Cover crops, biodiversity and minimal intervention are all central to the way the land is cared for, helping to preserve the character of the surrounding landscape and encourage natural balance in the vineyard.
Winemaking Information
The Grillo and Viognier are harvested separately by hand before being cooled overnight to preserve their delicate aromatics. After gentle pressing, each variety is fermented at low temperatures in stainless steel before being blended and aged on its fine lees for around four months. This approach retains the freshness and minerality of Grillo while allowing Viognier to contribute texture, perfume and richness.
