Gabrio Bini Riserva "Giotto" Terre Siciliane Rosso Carignano 2019

Country: Italy

Region: Sicily

Type: Red Wine

Grape: Carignan

Gabrio Bini’s Azienda Agricola Serragghia is located on the island of Pantelleria, a volcanic mass one hundred kilometres or so south west of Sicily. Gabrio’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 temperatures are surprisingly moderate, even in the height of summer.

The 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 from Spain, which are buried in the vineyard. The wines are bottled unfiltered, with no additions. These are highly allocated, tiny production wines.
