Description

The Vino Spumante Rosé Brut Il Frappato from Santa Tresa is an organic sparkling wine full of charm and character. Crafted from Frappato grapes in Sicily’s sun-soaked Ragusa province, it reflects both tradition and freshness. The wine catches the eye with its delicate pink hue and fine, lively bubbles that dance in the glass. On the nose, it offers a bright bouquet of wild strawberries and zesty citrus, bringing an instant sense of joy. Each sip feels crisp, refreshing, and well-balanced. Its elegant sparkle and clean profile make it ideal for both quiet moments and joyful gatherings.

History and Winemaking

Santa Tresa is a long-standing Sicilian winery that focuses on organic methods. The team aims to show the land’s true nature in each bottle. They use the Charmat method to create a vibrant, fresh sparkling wine. First, they remove the stems and gently press the grapes. Then, they ferment the juice with chosen yeasts. A second fermentation in steel tanks adds the fine bubbles.

Tasting Notes

  • Colour: Soft pink with fine, lasting bubbles.
  • Nose: Bright wild strawberries, citrus zest, and light floral notes.
  • Palate: Crisp, lively, and balanced. The finish is clean and fresh.

Pairings

Rosé Brut works beautifully as a pre-meal drink, offering a bright and uplifting start. Its crisp bubbles and fresh fruit notes prepare the palate with ease. It pairs especially well with a range of cheeses, thanks to its vibrant acidity and light body. Try it with soft cheeses like goat’s cheese, brie, or camembert for a creamy, balanced bite. The wine also cuts through the richness of aged cheeses, such as Gruyère or Manchego. For a classic match, serve it with a cheese board featuring fresh fruits, nuts, and crusty bread. These pairings highlight the rosé’s delicate flavours while keeping the experience light and enjoyable. Whether enjoyed at a picnic or a casual evening, this sparkling wine brings charm to any cheese-focused spread.
