Gabrio Bini Cicala 2022 (750ml)

Gabrio Bini (Azienda Agricola Serragghia) is legendary for pushing the boundaries of natural winemaking on Pantelleria's volcanic slopes. Using biodynamic principles and century-old ungrafted bush vines, Gabrio creates living wines made entirely without additives, sulfites, or artificial intervention.

Cicala 2022 is Gabrio's rare ancestral-method sparkling skin-contact Zibibbo. Named after the summer cicadas that sing through Pantelleria's hot afternoons, this wild sparkling wine undergoes skin maceration and primary fermentation in buried dolia before finishing fermentation in bottle, resting on its fine lees.

Tasting Profile: Hazy gold with a fine, energetic mousse. Fragrant with orange blossom, white peach, wild fennel, sea salt, and yeast brioche complexity. Electric on the palate, combining zesty citrus acidity, tactile phenolic grip, and a bracingly dry, saline finish that tastes like a Mediterranean sea breeze.

Serve well-chilled (8–10°C). Perfect as a radical aperitif or paired with oysters, fried seafood, anchovies, or tempura.
