FEUDO SANTA TRESA

Santa Tresa is located in the town of Vittoria, in the Province of Ragusa, southeastern Sicily, at an altitude of 240 meters above sea level. The estate is the result of the passion and 30 years of experience of two brothers from Trentino, Marina and Stefano, who, in 2001, took over the historic Santa Tresa Estate, which dates back to 1697. Recognizing the immense potential of the region for organic wine production, they expanded their venture in 2016 by acquiring Azienda Agricola Cortese, a second farm in the picturesque countryside near Vittoria.

The wineries operate under an organic regime, which is more than a method of cultivation—it reflects a deep respect for nature. This approach allows for the production of superior wines while supporting biodiversity. The rich presence of flora and fauna around the vineyards attests to the integration of sustainable practices within the estate, where the harmony between the natural environment and the vineyards is a central philosophy.
