Miopasso Nero d'Avola

Miopasso is a project by the producers of Santa Tresa wines. The Miopasso series is a high-quality wine made from indigenous Italian grape varieties. The goal is to bring these traditional styles of wine to the international market, reflecting the true taste of Italy. This is achieved through modern vinification, which allows them to fully express the flavors of each grape variety. It offers a wide selection for every wine lover.

The very best grapes by Miopasso wines

The Santa Tresa estate dates back to 1697 and was purchased in 2002 by Stefano Girelle and his sister, Marina. Since the purchase, the estate has been fully restored and operates organically and sustainably. Located in Vittoria, the estate owns 40 hectares of vineyards. Rina Lanca means "white sand" in Sicilian dialect, a reference to the coastline and the light, sandy soils where the grapes for this wine are grown today. Only the very best Nero d'Avola grapes are selected for this Miopasso. The grapes are harvested by hand in late September and early October to ensure the acidity is retained. The grapes are transported in small crates and gently destemmed in the winery. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature between 22 and 24 degrees Celsius. It is made using the appasimento method, in which part of the wine is made from sun-dried grapes. This makes it somewhat softer and more concentrated than many other wines made from this grape variety.
