'Serragghia Bianco' Zibibbo
From sixty year old bush vines of Zibibbo planted on one of the highest parts of the island. The wine spends seven months on skins in terracotta amphorae buried in the vineyard. This continues the trend towards the fresher, fragrant styles of yesteryear, with lifted aromas of citrus zest and Mediterranean herbs and an almost weightless quality on the palate making for the ultimate aperitif

'Serragghia Bianco Heritage' Zibibbo
From a parcel of ungrafted vines of Zibibbo that are over one hundred years old. More compact, powerful and intense than the Serragghia Zibibbo, it wows with neat tannins and heady, complex notes of orange, smoke, minerals and bitter herbs that make way for a long, salty finish. Resolutely Mediterranean and absolutely profound.

'Serragghia Fanino' Pignatello e Catarratto
The grapes come from 40-year-old vines planted in terraces on volcanic and sandy soils that are cultivated according to the principles of organic agriculture.
When they reach the winery, the bunches are destemmed and undergo fermentation outdoors with their native yeasts in 220 amphoras buried in highly porous volcanic rock known as tuff and macerated with their skins for about three months. The resulting wine is refined in amphoras for seven months and bottled without filtering, clarifying or adding sulphites, and it stays in the bottle for a period of time before being sold.

'Rouge Onda' Syrah 50cl
Named for Giotto Bini’s (Gabrio’s son who’s charged with most of the labour on the farm) dog, this is made of an unlikely grape, Syrah, to find on the wild, windswept island of Pantelleria. A wine of unmatched concentration that hits all those characteristic Syrah notes (smoky black fruit and herbs) with very particularly Bini levels of bright acidity and minerals.

Gabrio Bini
Famous for capers and Zibibbo, the island of Pantelleria is a little bit more than a volcanic rock lost in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, midway between Sicily and Tunisian coast. Gabrio Bini, a Florentine/Milanese architect, fell in love with its rugged beauty and in the late 90s he started his adventure producing capers and a few bottles of wines. A couple of decades later, is his son Giotto running the show, but the ‘no intervention’ approach is still the same. The vineyards are never treated, not even copper or sulphur, and the grapes are fermented on their skins in clay amphorae buried in the vineyard. Unique age-worthy wines, that perfectly represent the strong character of the island.
