The grape
Where it's from
Sicily
Italy
Italy's sleeping giant is wide awake. Nerello Mascalese from Etna's volcanic slopes produces wines of haunting elegance that have woken the wine world up. Nero d'Avola, Grillo and Catarratto add depth to a region that now makes some of Italy's most exciting bottles.
Meet the producer
Marabino
Sicily, Italy
A biodynamic, organic producer in the Val di Noto in Sicily, with vines on clay-limestone soils. Fermentation is spontaneous. Love Wine stocks a Nero d'Avola Rosso di Contrada and Muscatedda, a dry Moscato with a saline finish.
More from Marabino →The story behind it
From a vineyard exposed to the West, at 65 meters above sea level, cultivated on white-calcareous soil that reflects light and gives saltiness to the wine. The white Muscat of Val di Noto, cultivated on these soils produces vines with a low yield, and wines with delicate aromas, typical of the “Mediterranean scrub”.
If you like these, you'll love this: Fans of natural, aromatic whites—think dry Riesling, Grüner Veltliner, or lighter skin-contact wines—will find this one very satisfying.
