["intblog_testo"]=> string(1771) "We are very proud to share two new excellent scores from James Suckling for our two premium organic wines from SantaTresa: Orisi and Avulisi!

Orisi is one of the so-called Sicilian relic grape varieties, which were recovered thanks to an ambitious project in Sicily, in which Santa Tresa played an important role.
The goal was to recover the native Sicilian varieties and register new regional clones.
We are very excited about this project as it will help protect the biodiversity of Sicilian wine regions.

Here are the tasting notes of JamesSuckling:
"Sweet aromas of berries and cherry with hints of laurel. Medium body, firm and fine tannins and a fresh finish. Polished tannins. Long and graceful. From organically grown grapes. Vegan. Drink now."

Avulisi is produced with the best grapes from the Santa Tresa estate, from our oldest vineyards, planted in 1964.
A beautiful single vineyard, meticulously cared for, Avulisi has extremely low yields that do not exceed 30 hl/ha, guaranteeing grapes rich in fine aromas and flavours.
Avulisi has a multifaceted character, expressing the pure style of Nero d'Avola.

This is how James Suckling described our wine:
"Intense and spicy nose with very rich and ripe berries and mineral notes. Full, round and silky on the palate with many fruity and savory flavors covering the well integrated and fine-grained tannins. The acidity is perfect and gives freshness to the finish long. Very refined expression of Nero d'Avola. Delicious now, but will improve for a few more years.""

From Sicily: vegan, sulphite-free, with intense aromas.

“The year begins with Veganuary, the month dedicated to sustainable food. From the red and sandy soils of the Ragusa area, the Santa Tresa winery offers a vegan friendly Nero d'Avola that that is aged in stainless steel: a bouquet of red fruits and plums, soft and pleasant on the palate, savoury notes and beautiful persistence. Perfect with vegetarian dishes”.
 
These are the words of the journalist Lara Loreti, from La Repubblica, who named our Santa Tresa Insieme Nero d'Avola Sicilia DOC 2021 the wine of the week!
 
But what is the wine of the week? How is it chosen?
The wine of the week is 'found' through a journey around Italy and all over the world through tasting and discovering the best that the earth can offer us, in search of exciting stories, special labels, current issues from vineyards and cellars.
We are really proud to have received this accolade because "Insieme" absolutely represents our wish to produce a totally natural wine, from the grape to the bottle. The result is genuinely different. Made from the quintessential Sicilian red grape Nero d'Avola, Insieme has a real purity of flavour and is the essence of Sicily.

On 10th December we featured on Studio Aperto MAG, the daily news programme on Italia 1. Presenter Tiziana Sapienza interviewed Stefano Girelli, owner of Santa Tresa, together with his sister Marina to talk about Orisi, the “relic” vine, which has been brought back to life on our estate.
For us has been a real privilege to be able to tell our story of how we brought this ancient vine back to life, starting from only 16 plants, arriving today with 1523 vineyards.
Special thanks to journalist Tiziana Sapienza and all Santa Tresa staff for all the dedication and passion they put every day!
