Gabrio Bini is a natural wine producer on the island of Pantelleria, off the coast of Sicily. Cicala is a sparkling Zibibbo made by the ancestrale method with no added sulfites. The Zibibbo comes from a terraced single cru of 0.5 hectares with vines over 50 years old on volcanic soils; it ferments with its skins for 10 days in amphora, then after 7 months in amphora is rejoined with fresh must to initiate the second fermentation, and ages on the fine lees before bottling.

Vivino lists this wine as a match for appetizers, snacks, and aperitif. Pantelleria's landscape produces capers, citrus, and local bush vines, foods that align with the island's cuisine.

Important Compliance Requirements

FedEx and other carriers we might occasionally use can only deliver wine to customers who are 21 years or older. Someone must be at the address to receive the package, carriers don't just drop a package and leave. They must ensure the person receiving the wine is 21 or older.


Re-shipping a Package

If a package is returned to us after three failed delivery attempts, we can only re-ship the wine upon payment of a re-shipping fee, to be determined based on the shipping address and number of bottles. Shipping wine is extremely expensive. We are sorry about this, but we have no other choice. Please make sure there's always someone at the address you enter as your shipping address.

If you'd like to receive a refund for a package that was returned to us after FedEx made three delivery attempts, we can do that but we must keep a $20 refund fee; FedEx charges us a lot of money for returns, unfortunately, I can't stress this enough.


Re-routing a Package

If you'd like to reroute a package after it's been shipped, we can do so for a $20 re-routing fee. We cannot re-route a package across state borders. For any change of address, please contact us as soon as possible, ideally within 1-2 days from placing the order or we cannot guarantee we'll be able to reroute or change your order's shipping address.


Canceling an Order

If you'd like to cancel an order after it's been shipped, we can do so upon payment of a small cancellation fee – the amount depends on the size of the order. Carriers charge us a lot of money to recall a package en-route.


Heat/Frost damage

We are not responsible for heat- or frost-related issues. We offer ice-packs upon request. Please let us know if you think that there could be heat-related issues. If we don't hear anything from you regarding weather issues before an order is shipped, or if you don't request a hold due to the weather, we are not responsible for heat/frost damage.

Producer profile

Azienda Agricola Serragghia (Gabrio Bini)

Gabrio Bini is a Milanese architect who came to the island of Pantelleria to work with the volcanic soil, producing capers, oregano, and an anchovy sauce called colatura alongside his wine. He started his adventure producing capers and a few bottles of wine in the late 1990s, and a couple of decades later his son Giotto runs the estate.

The vineyards are never treated and are tended by hand and horse. The vines are tended biodynamically and organically, without chemical treatments, using only hand and horse labor.

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, and the wines are bottled unfiltered with no additions. For Cicala, the Zibibbo ferments with its skins for 10 days in amphora; after 7 months in amphora it is rejoined with fresh must to initiate the second fermentation, then ages on the fine lees before bottling.

Wine region

Sicily, Italy

The Serragghia farm is on the island of Pantelleria, which belongs to Sicily but is closer to Africa; at the foot of an ancient volcano, the landscape includes remote terraces planted with caper bushes, citrus groves, and old bush vines of local varieties. The vines occupy some of the island's highest points and are cooled by a constant breeze that keeps temperatures moderate even in summer.

Pantelleria produces renowned sweet wines from sun-dried Zibibbo grapes. The Zibibbo grape is a local name for Muscat of Alexandria, and the island also grows Pignatello and Catarratto.
