GRAPES: 100% ZIBIBBO BIANCO
SKIN CONTACT: 7 MONTHS
REGION: SICILY, ITALY
Vinification method: Gabrio Bini’s Azienda Agricola Serragghia is located on the island of Pantelleria, a volcanic island to the southwest of Sicily. The island is famed for two things, its capers and the beautiful wines made with the local Zibibbo grape.
Bini’s grapes come from old vines planted over ancient terraces on the island’s volcanic soils. Higher than most vineyards, Serragghia experiences a cool sea breeze and moderate temperatures, even in peak summer. For this wine, the grapes come from sixty-year-old bush vines planted on one of the highest parts of the island. The wine macerates for seven months on skins in terracotta amphorae from Spain, which Bini buries in his vineyard. It's then bottled unfined, unfiltered, and with no additional sulfites.
