2022 Santa Tresa 'Rina Russa' Frappato
The Santa Tresa Estate in the Vittoria area of South East Sicily is the source of these exquisite grapes.
The grapes are chilled for a full night in a refrigerated room to decrease the temperature to 6-8°C, ensuring the preservation of the unique qualities of the Frappato. Following a delicate destemming and crushing process, the grapes are then fermented at a temperature of approximately 18-22°C for a period of 10-12 days. Once the wine is separated from the skins, natural malolactic fermentation occurs. This process is allowed to run its course before the wine is aged on its delicate lees for 4-6 months in stainless steel tanks, with frequent stirring.
The final product is then bottled and ready for your enjoyment.
Tasting Note: Rina Russa genuinely has its own unique style, as the Frappato grapes come from ancient clones developed on our own estate. It has a very beautiful light cherry colour, with a fresh and vibrant bouquet, reminiscent of wild strawberries and a beautifully balanced palate, with silky smooth fruit, a real freshness running through it and a surprisingly long finish.
