Santa Tresa
Santa Tresa's organic philosophy encourages local wildlife: wild rabbits feed on the grass that we let grow between the vines to create our very own iodiversity\
At Santa Tresa we respect and encourage nature which in return allows us to produce great wine that really is more than just organic, it's also unique!Organic wine
Vegan friendly
At Santa Tresa we dont use pesticides! Not even organic. We only use very limited amount of Sulphur and Copper in the vineyard. Instead of manure (these are vegan wines after all!) we fertilise their vines using Favino that is fava bean that we grow ourselves and is extremely effective. We use a whole host of methods to combat diseases, like sexual confusion to treat the Tignola moth, and a variety of Bacillus that is a natural defence against several diseases like moths and mildew.

Wine has shaped the lives of the people of Vittoria, who have lived and breathed the culture for over 3,000 years.

Vinification Details
The grapes are chilled overnight at a temperature of 6-8C, in order to preserve the particular qualities of the Frappato. After a gentle destemming and crushing, grapes are fermented at a temperature of 18-22C for 10-12 days. The wine is separated from the skins and malolactic fermentation takes place naturally. After malolactic fermentation is complete, the wine is kept on its fine lees for 4-6 months in stainless steel tanks, with regular stirring, before bottling.
