Angelo Paternò arrived in Noto in 2001, after gaining extensive professional experience across Sicily. The light and proximity to the sea made him fall in love with the Val di Noto, an area he already knew well from a pedoclimatic perspective.
In 2007 he began the project to build the winery, completed in 2009, realising his initial idea shared with his daughter Marilina: the wines he could finally produce have a strong identity, deeply connected to the land, emerging naturally from the cycles of life without any forcing. For this reason, the existing vineyards covering 25 hectares were preserved, with an additional ten hectares of new plantings including international varieties, now represented by the Currivu white and red.
From the start Cantina Marilina has focused production on three native grape varieties: Nero d’Avola, Moscato and Grecanico, following and respecting the natural phases of the vineyard.

The Val di Noto - Angelo Paternò has observed - is the sunniest area in Sicily and the second windiest after Trapani. The white calcareous soils are also very important. Indeed, Nero d’Avola, Moscato and Grecanico are wines with a determined character, thanks to the calcareous soils which allow for good structure and longer ageing, imparting longevity and elegance to the wines. With all these qualities, the raw material is fully utilised. Once the grapes arrive at the winery, everything is transferred to cement tanks, where long macerations maximise the potential of the grapes. The cement tanks not only improve maturation but also preserve the product unchanged. Thus, long macerations, minimal intervention during processing, with minimal filtration and no fining.
Moscato, Grecanico and Nero d’Avola are produced with different nuances to demonstrate that the grape variety is not static but alive and reacts differently. Cantina Marilina firmly believes that Nero d’Avola is eclectic and certainly deserves re-evaluation compared to what has been available on the market so far.

The care given to the vines is reflected in the work carried out in the winery and the final packaging, using recyclable glass bottles and labels made strictly from natural recycled paper with natural cork stoppers, all in line with the adopted production methods.

Cantina Marilina has been organic since 2001. The existing old vines, now between 40 and 50 years old, have been preserved. The vineyard system is traditional, with vines grown alongside fruit trees.
History, like nature, is a great teacher!
