INSIGHTS

For us, wine is an interweaving of history, nature and culture and we believe it is the duty of those who produce it to continue to nourish the principles that distinguish this magical liquid from any other drink.

In a world full of stimuli of all kinds, we have the feeling that communicating our work and in general the great attention to detail behind each bottle is increasingly difficult. For this reason, every season, four times a year, we have decided to send an email to the people closest to us in which to share the most interesting, complex and discussed aspects of everything that revolves around our wines.

Fall 2023 – Another warm harvest, with slow ripenesses!

Summer 2023 – Marabino between ethics and aesthetics

Starting from a mistake we decided to do things differently. This is the story of our Passito 2022: a sweet wine that we suddenly decided to withdraw from the market and which made us reflect for a long time on the meaning of our work, in the round. [...]

Spring 2023 – “SOLEGGIATO” our perpetual oxidative wine

Our new Soleggiato was born from the desire to confront myself with the world of the so-called oxidative wines. A "perpetual" wine based on "Moscato di Noto" grapes, the result of a long process of exposure to sunlight during which it gains in complexity and depth. [...]

Winter 2023 – Metamorphosis

An insight dedicated to an important change: after so many years during which our energies have been directed to the countryside and to the cellar, here is the new graphic project which involves Marabino, as well as a big evolution concerning some of our wines [...]

Fall 2022 – The harvest and the calamities of the Mediterranean territories
