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, a region he already knew well from a pedoclimatic perspective.
In 2007, he began the project of building the winery, completed in 2009, realising his initial idea shared with his daughter Marilina: the wines he could finally produce himself have a strong identity, deeply connected to the territory, emerging naturally from the life cycles without any forcing. For this reason, existing vineyards covering 25 hectares were preserved, with an additional ten hectares of new plantings, including international grape varieties now represented by the Currivu white and red.
From the start, Cantina Marilina focused production on three native grape varieties: Nero d’Avola, Moscato, and Grecanico, following and respecting the natural phases of the vine.

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. Nero d’Avola, Moscato, and Grecanico are wines with a determined character, thanks to the calcareous soils that allow for good structure and longer ageing, imparting longevity and elegance. With all these qualities, the raw material is fully utilised. Once the grapes arrive at the winery, everything is transferred to cement tanks for long macerations to maximise the raw material. Cement tanks not only improve maturation but also preserve the product unchanged. Therefore, there are long macerations, minimal interventions during processing, with minimal filtration and no clarification.
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 deserves re-evaluation compared to what has been available on the market so far.

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

Cantina Marilina has been organic since 2001. The existing old vines, now 40 to 50 years old, have been preserved. This represents the traditional system where vines were grown alongside fruit trees.
