The cellar: Marabino

The Marabino company is located in Contrada Buonivini in the heart of Val di Noto, in the province Of Siracusa. The activity began in 2002 by Pierpaolo Messina, former entrepreneur in the Interservice group, who restructured the cellar and built an old Saracen tower to build a resort. The cultivated hectares are around 30 to about seven kilometers from the sea, and mostly native local vines are bred, such as Moscato di Noto and Avola Black, together with a selection of different Chardonnay clones. The vineyards, cultivated by the agronomist Luca Gentile, are bred in biodynamics and grow on different types of soil; From limestone white reflecting the rays of only Mediterranean clay and black clay that are rich in natural elements, all then enjoying the breeze of the dominant winds in the area. The wine cellar is run by the Salvatore Marino enologist who prefers spontaneous fermentation, minimal use of sulfur and refinement in steel or oak barrels to not ruin what the vine gives. All Marabino wines have a vibrant tension that makes them enjoyable wines with a great ease of drinking.
