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.

Meet the Producer

Santa Tresa is a Sicilian winery renowned for combining traditional varietals with modern winemaking techniques. Winemaker Stefano Chioccioli focuses on producing wines that express the unique volcanic soils and Mediterranean climate of Sicily while respecting organic and sustainable practices.

Production

Viognier is harvested at the end of August, with Grillo picked during the first half of September. Both varieties are chilled overnight at 6–8°C to preserve aromatic intensity before gentle destemming and soft pressing. The must is left to settle overnight at around 10°C, allowing natural sedimentation. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at 17–19°C for 10–12 days to retain freshness and varietal character.

Maturation

The wine is aged for four months on fine lees, adding texture and enhancing complexity without overpowering its natural freshness and aromatic profile.
