TRE VIGNE WINES 

 TRE VIGNE vineyards are located in Sicily, Italy which produces the Grillo and Frappato grapes.  

The Grillo grape produces a special wine that dates back 2500 years.   This delicate distinctive wine is crisp but full-bodied.  It has intense fruit with a delicious aroma and it has the weight of a Chardonnay but the freshness of a Sauvignon Blanc.  This great wine is a fine accompaniment to seafood, fish and light dishes and should be served chilled. 

Michael Lonsford writes about wine in the Houston Chronicle.  "The 1999 Tre Vigne 'Grillo' rated a four star (* * * *),  is a crisp, but full bodied white made from Grillo, a native Sicilian grape variety.  It has the weight of a chardonay but the clean freshness of a sauvignon blanc.  It should be an excellent match with fish."

The Frappato is a smooth wine, light to medium body and of natural refining, made from Frappato red grapes.  It is purely vinified and it is delicious with all cuts of meats as well as wild game and should be served slightly chilled. The Frappato grape is only found in Sicily.
