Rina Russa genuinely has its own unique style, as the Frappato grapes come from ancient clones developed on Santa Tresa's own estate. It has a very beautiful light cherry colour, with a fresh and vibrant aroma of wild strawberries and a beautifully balanced palate. Silky smooth fruit, a real freshness running through it and a surprisingly long finish make this a bit of a gem, especially for the summer.
Traditionally in Sicily this is enjoyed lightly chilled with fish dishes, such a blue fin tuna, but it can just as easily be enjoyed with cured meats and cheese when served a little closer to room temperature.
"I love this wine for it's sheer refreshing drinkability. It's light yet not watery, bursting with fresh red berries, it's interesting in the glass but equally super easy to enjoy. It comes from a great bunch of people doing excellent work in Sicily, respecting the land and the grapes. I'd serve it on the cooler side personally."
