D*Feudo di Santa Tresa Rina Russa Frappato

Winemaker Notes
An innovative blend of Grillo, an excellent indigenous Sicilian grape variety, with the French Viognier, which enjoys perfect growing conditions at Santa Tresa. The minerality and freshness of the Grillo is perfectly complemented by the intensity and body of the Viognier. Rina lanca is straw yellow in colour, it has a bouquet layered with white fruits such as peaches, which gradually develop into notes of apricots and herbs. On the palate, is has a wonderful minerality, it is well balanced with a lovely softness on the finish.

Professional Ratings

James Suckling 91 Points
A lovely nose of chamomile, preserved lemon and pink grapefruit. Medium-bodied with zesty acidity and ground-spice character. Steady, with a lingering finish. From organically grown grapes.

Wine Enthusiast 90 Points
On the nose of this wine, lemon, lime and hints of grapefruit are joined by aromas of almond paste, almond flowers and eventually fresh herbs and grass. More marzipan appears on the palate along with lemon bars, lemon zest and a saline lick of quartz.
