{"title":"Agricola Marino","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn Contrada Buonivini, a few kilometers from the wild dunes and salt lagoons of the Vendicari nature reserve, Salvatore Marino tends his vines with two tools he likes to name himself: la zappa e la forbice, the hoe and the pruning shears. There is no team, no machinery in the cellar, and no shortcut. Marino does everything alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMarino founded his estate in 2017, but the knowledge behind it runs much deeper. He draws on five generations of family farming in Sicily's deep southeast, the Pachino corner of the island long prized for its sun-baked, high-quality vineyards. His guiding conviction is simple and old-fashioned: il vino si fa in vigna, the wine is made in the vineyard. Alongside grapes, his small holding also produces cereals for pasta flour, olives, and fruit, keeping the property a genuine mixed farm rather than a single-crop estate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMore on how they farm and work in the cellar in our \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/natural-wine-producers-primal-wine\/agricola-marino-natural-wine-from-southeast-sicily\"\u003eAgricola Marino producer profile\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"turi-nero-davola-agricola-marino-natural-wine","title":"Agricola Marino Turi Nero d'Avola 2020","description":"\u003cp\u003eTuri is the Sicilian nickname for Salvatore, and it is the name Salvatore Marino gives to his only red wine: a 90\/10 field blend of Nero d'Avola and Pignatello grown on a 2-hectare plot in Contrada Buonivini, near Pachino, in southeastern Sicily. The vineyard sits on clay-limestone soils laden with marine fossils, positioned between the Ionian and Mediterranean seas, within the DOC Eloro Pachino subzone. Vines are bush-trained (alberello) and between 16 and 35 years old.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMarino works entirely by hand, using the lunar calendar to time all vineyard tasks. The only inputs are seasoned organic manure and green manure cover crops. Grapes are hand-harvested, destemmed, and fermented spontaneously with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks with approximately six days of maceration. Malolactic fermentation occurs naturally, the wine is racked off its gross lees, and it is bottled in the spring following harvest. Total sulfites are very low, and the wine is unfined.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, Turi Nero d'Avola shows a ruby red color with notes of black cherry, plum, violet, and dried Mediterranean herbs. Tannins are integrated rather than grippy, and acidity keeps the wine fresh despite the warm coastal growing conditions.
