Fifth generation winemaker Salvatore (Turi) Marino has run his wine project in Pachino, Sicily since 2017. A winemaker with a traditional touch, his focus is largely on local varieties, with a commitment to the region's soil and the balance of nature. The vineyard consists of bush vines, and the nature of the soil makes it perfect for natural vine growing and winemaking. He respects bio-diversity, and uses the lunar calendar to choose the right time for works in the vineyard, all done by hand. Salvatore adopts a non-interventionist approach in the cellar, crafting artisanal wines with plenty of character.
 
Hand-harvested organic Nero D'Avola and Pignatello grapes, fermented with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks. Fresh herbs on the nose, eucalyptus and red fruits, a little minerality, but then sour, fresh cherries and deep spice appear on the palate. A well balanced wine with bags of character, refreshing acidity and a saline streak throughout. Serve with a chill.
