The Feudo di Santa Tresa estate dates back to the 17th century, probably to 1697, when it was part of the Contea di Modica, one of the region's most ancient areas of wine production. The name Santa Tresa derives from the local Sicilian pronunciation, which has shortened the name Teresa to Tresa. Nature is bountiful here, with the Sicilian sun perfectly ripening the best fruits in the Mediterranean basin.
Today, the Feudo di Santa Tresa estate has around 50 hectares of vineyards. The minute selection of the clones and rootstocks and the vine density (ca. 5000/5500 vines per hectare) means cultivation techniques can be simple, while at the same time strictly controlled. The natural quality of the vines and grapes is so exceptional that it would be foolhardy to intervene more than absolutely necessary
Lying close to the Mediterranean, Feudo di Santa Tresa's vineyards benefit from cooling sea breezes, but at the same time they are far enough away from the sea (8 kilometres) to limit any damaging effect that salty air could bring.
