Gabrio Bini's Fanino Rosso is a truly unique natural red wine from the volcanic island of Pantelleria, a rugged sliver of land closer to Tunisia than Sicily. Gabrio Bini, an eccentric architect turned winemaker, is renowned for his commitment to minimal intervention. He employs 100% natural fermentation in clay amphorae (giarre) buried underground, with no added SO2, and the wines are bottled unfined and unfiltered. The Fanino Rosso is typically a co-fermentation of indigenous Pignatello (a rare red grape) and Catarratto (a white grape), grown biodynamically on volcanic soils. While the 2024 vintage is a very new release, the Fanino Rosso consistently offers a wild and authentic expression of Pantelleria's distinctive terroir. Tasting notes for Fanino Rosso often describe it as a light red or dark rosato with a bright cherry color. It's known for fragrant aromatics of wild strawberry and rose petals, with wafting floral aromas that are hard to ignore. On the palate, it's light-bodied, juicy, and direct, focusing on energetic fruit presentation. Expect flavors of blood orange, minerals, and spice, along with a bracing wave of volcanic acidity and a persistent saline trace. Some describe it as tea-like, delicate, and fresh, with notes of rose hips and mint tea, offering a refreshing quality. 🍴 Food pairing suggestions: This wildly drinkable wine is excellent with picnics, panino, and olive oil-based pasta. It also pairs well with duck, charcuterie, braised dishes, aged cheese, and lamb. 🥂 Event suggestions: Fanino Rosso is a wine that defies traditional categories, perfect for casual gatherings, picnics, or when you're looking for something truly distinctive and full of character. 【 Wild expression of Pantelleria's volcanic terroir, fermented in buried amphorae with zero additions 】
