WINE DESCRIPTION
Marabino's Archimede Riserva is a celebration of the revered Nero d’Avola grape, cultivated organically in the sun-drenched vineyards of Sicily's Noto region. This Riserva showcases the winery's commitment to expressing the varietal's full potential through biodynamic principles and meticulous winemaking. The wine is matured in French oak, which imparts depth and nuance without overshadowing the grape's natural vibrancy. With a limited production focus, Marabino ensures that each bottle of Archimede Riserva is a true expression of Sicilian terroir, delivering a wine that is both powerful and refined, with a distinctive sense of place.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Upon pouring, the Marabino Archimede Riserva unfurls a rich, deep garnet color, signaling its depth and intensity.The aroma is a generous tapestry of dark fruits - think sun-ripened black cherries and blackberries - laced with hints of Mediterranean herbs, leather, and a deft touch of toasty oak. The palate is rewarded with a robust structure, where concentrated fruit flavors intertwine with savory undertones and spice. The tannins are assertive yet polished, leading to a harmonious finish that carries the warmth of Sicily and the elegance of Nero d’Avola. This is a wine that promises further complexity with age, a noble addition to any cellar.
