Vintage Character Gabrio Bini 'Onda' 2023 is a Syrah red wine from Pantelleria in Sicily, carrying the island's saline and volcanic signature into a darker-fruited frame. The name 'Onda', meaning wave, fits a wine whose identity is tied to sea wind, Mediterranean warmth and savoury island energy.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing Blackberry, plum and black cherry form the core, with pepper, herbs, olive, volcanic stone, leather and savoury spice adding complexity. The palate is dry and medium-bodied, with medium-high acidity, medium tannins and a spicy, saline finish. Pair it with grilled lamb, charred vegetables, peppered beef, sausages or herb-roasted aubergine.
Winery Background Gabrio Bini works on Pantelleria, where volcanic soils and sea exposure give his wines a strong sense of place. His low-intervention approach aims to preserve grape character, texture and island salinity, making Onda a natural choice for drinkers who want Syrah with Mediterranean edge rather than polished international weight.
