Organic wine
Vegan friendly
At Santa Tresa we don’t 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.

Tasting notes
The minerality and freshness of the Grillo compliments the intensity and body of the Viognier. Bouquet of white fruits, that develops into notes of apricots & herbs. The palate has a wonderful minerality, well balanced with a softness on the finish.

Vinification details
Both varieties are vinified in a similar way. We chill the grapes overnight in a refrigerated room to lower the temperature to 6-8°C, thereby protecting the aromatic characteristics of the grapes. The following day, grapes are gently destemmed and softly pressed. The must remains in a tank for one night at a temperature of around 10°C, allowing the natural sedimentation of all the solid particles to occur. Wine is moved into a stainless steel tank, where it ferments at 17-19°C for 10-12 days.
