Marabino, meaning 'land of the beloved sun', was founded in 2002 in Contrada Buonivini near Noto in south-east Sicily. Vineyards, olive groves and orchards are farmed biodynamically without herbicides or synthetic inputs, with hand harvesting and spontaneous fermentations on indigenous yeasts. The focus is on Nero d'Avola and Moscato Bianco expressed through single-contrada and soil-type bottlings with very low sulphite levels.
