100% Skin-Contact Insolia Binaco from Sicily. Organic.

Il Censo means “census” but refers to the obligations of tenant farmers to pay tribute to the landowning family, a Sicilian system that dates back to feudal times. Gaetano and Nicolette Gargani are the current owners and winemakers from the Terre Siciliane region and dedicated to the traditional cultivation of the Insolia grape. 

Insolia is the primary grape used in making Marsala wine but Gaetano and Nicolette envisioned another iteration for the grape. Gurte is an Albanian/Italian term for a stony and rock strewn vineyard and it’s on a site like this that their Insolia is grown.

Like all Mediterranean white (or orange) wines, there’s a pronounced saline vibe happening along with a pleasant bitter minerality. This is a lighter style -- more delicate and medium bodied with mouth watering citrus and savory herbal notes!
