2023 Gabrio & Giotto Bini Serragghia Bianco

About The Wine

Zibibbo is an aromatic varietal that grows beautifully on the wild island of Pantelleria, roughly a hundred kilometres south west of Sicily.

From sixty year old bush vines of Zibibbo planted on one of the highest parts of the island. The wine spent seven months on skins in terracotta amphorae buried in the vineyard, before being bottled with no additions.

It draws you in with lifted aromas of citrus and sea breeze, whilst the palate is seasoned with pith, zest, salt and brine, making for unforgettable aperitif.

Vineyard & Winemaking

The Serragghia farm can be found on the wild and windswept isle of Pantelleria, which belongs to Sicily, but in reality it is much closer to Africa.

At the foot of an ancient volcano, it occupies a dreamlike landscape, where remote terraces are planted with caper bushes, citrus groves and old bush vines of fascinating local varieties. Occupying some of the island’s highest points, the vines are cooled by a constant breeze which keeps temperatures surprisingly moderate, even in the height of summer, lending the wines an airy freshness, whilst the close proximity to the sea and volcanic soils imbue an invigorating, uplifting quality.

The several hectares of vineyards are never treated and are tended by hand and horse. Grapes are handpicked and left to ferment long and slowly in terracotta amphorae of various ages and sizes which are buried amongst the vines. They are bottled unfiltered, with no additions, producing vibrant, uplifting wines that are truly one of a kind.

Sicilia Pantelleria is a place with a rare energy, captured so brilliantly in these remarkable wines.
