Giovinco Extra Brut

Precise. Elegant. Italian volcanic sparkle.
The Giovinco Extra Brut is a celebration of Sicilian elegance — a sparkling wine that captures the very essence of Mount Etna’s volcanic slopes. Crafted from Nerello Mascalese vinified in white, it reveals a completely different expression of this noble grape: refined, mineral, and radiantly pure. Each bubble tells a story of altitude and air, of ancient lava flows and Mediterranean breezes, woven together in perfect balance.

At Giovinco, everything begins with respect — for the land, the vines, and the natural rhythms of Sicily. The grapes are grown organically and hand-harvested from high-elevation vineyards, where cool nights preserve freshness and acidity. Vinified using the traditional method, the wine rests patiently on its lees, gaining depth and finesse before release.

In the glass, Giovinco Extra Brut gleams with pale golden hues and an elegant stream of fine bubbles. The nose opens with delicate aromas of lemon zest, green apple, almond blossom, and crushed stone. On the palate, it’s crisp and vibrant, with a core of citrus and white peach framed by a saline minerality that lingers gracefully. Bone-dry and impeccably balanced, it’s a sparkling wine of understated sophistication — a quiet reflection of Etna’s luminous landscape.

For those in Ireland who appreciate authenticity and refinement, Giovinco Extra Brut brings a touch of Sicilian sunshine to even the greyest of days — a perfect companion for moments that deserve something truly special.

Why we love it:
This Extra Brut is a stunning Sicilian sparkler—minerally pure, elegantly structured, and full of personality. With 3+ years on lees and no dosage, it offers remarkable depth and freshness — a top-tier foil to Champagne, with undeniable Mediterranean character.
