    Cerasuolo di Vittoria is to date the only and unique DOCG on SicilyIt is a confirmation of the high quality wine produced here. The grapes Nero d’Avola and Frappato create an elegant yet robust structure with plenty of sunny red fruit on the palate. Remarkably long finish of this organically produced wine.

    Feudo di Santa Tresa

    The old vineyard of Feudo di Santa Tresa covers 50 hectares, and grapes for viticulture have been cultivated here since 1697. The winery is located near Vittoria, in southern Sicily. Stefano and Marina Girelli and their business partner Massimo Maggio took over the estate in 2020 with the aim of restoring it to its original glory in harmony with the native flora and fauna.

    The vineyards benefit from a cool southern sea breeze that compensates for the heat of the interior. The soil (terra rossa) has ideal characteristics: 40-100 centimeters of light red sandy loam at the top, followed by limestone. The soil is fertile due to the Etna volcano. Thanks to the working methods chosen for the grape varieties and a density of 5,000-5,500 vines per hectare, the pruning techniques are simple yet well-controlled. The natural quality of the grapes is so exceptional that it would be superfluous to intervene more than strictly necessary.

    The grapes from the Santa Tresa estate have been grown organically for many years. This means, among other things, no use of pesticides or chemicals. In 2006, it was decided to have this officially registered. Consequently, as of the 2009 harvest, the wine was officially certified as organic.

    Tasting note Cerasuolo di Vittoria

    Dark red wine with a bouquet of dark, ripe berries. Soft taste, with well-rounded fruit reminiscent of blackberries and damson plums. It is an elegant wine with a certain finesse and a beautiful, long finish.

    Food and wine pairing

    The local Sicilian dish Pasta alla Norma pairs perfectly with Cerasuolo di Vittoria. It is a tomato sauce with aubergines fried in olive oil, all mixed with some ricotta cheese. Serve the Cerasuolo deliciously lightly chilled and enjoy it with meaty fish such as tuna and swordfish.
