Winemaking: Organic Catarratto and Pignatello grapes were hand harvested and fermented in terracotta amphora that are buried underground. Aged here for 7 months on the skins. No filtration, fining or added sulphur.  

This Wine: A unique wine that is quite hard to define! Bright red in the glass but with aromas of stone fruit, blood orange, spice and minerals. Drinks somewhere between and orange wine and a light red.

Notes on the Winemaker: Gabrio & Giotto Bini are located on the remote island of Pantelleria in between Sicily and Tunisia. Despite the hot climate, they manage to retain freshness in the wines thanks to the elevation of the vineyard site which is one of the highest on the island. Their cuvées have become world renowned for their intensity complexity thanks in part to their use of amphora vessels that are buried in the vineyard.
