Banibano Magnum

Jean Touitou
A Tunisian white with real personality, born from sun-drenched vines and crafted by Jean Touitou, a maker known for doing things his own way. Picked early to keep the freshness alive, then vinified gently to preserve every bit of fruit, this 2025 gives you citrus zest, white peach and a saline, almost sea-breeze finish. The magnum format makes it perfect for long tables and warm evenings, where one bottle is never quite enough. Serve it well chilled with grilled fish, mezze or a simple plate of olives and feta. Easy to love, hard to forget.
