Description

Feudo di Santa Tresa estate has around 123 acres of vineyards in the historical vine growing region of Vittoria, Sicily. A careful selection of the clones and rootstocks are planted at a density of approximately 2,025 vines per acre to preserve the typicity of native varietals while realizing the full potential of this unique microclimate. Lying close to the Mediterranean, Feudo di Santa Tresa's vineyards benefit from cooling sea breezes. The estate’s soil consists of a layer of light, red, sandy loam (terra rossa) resting on top of a limestone base, which helps retain vital water. In order to preserve this rich terroir, only natural techniques are used to assist cultivation.

THE WINERY

Santa Tresa

Santa Tresa is located on a plain, with the Dirillo river to the north, the Iblei mountains to the east and open to the sea to the south and west.
Sicily is a land surrounded by the sea, which has been invaded, lived in, colonised and loved by innumerable people. Right here in this small corner of the island, we have an extraordinary cultural mix of incredible richness.
Vittoria is dominated by the culture of wine – wine is represented everywhere - in amazing frescoes, in local ceramics and in ancient folklore.
Wine has shaped the lives and memories of the people of Vittoria, who have lived and breathed the culture of wine for over 3,000 years.
