More About Cantina Marilina Ruversa Nero d'Avola Elora DOC 2018

Cantina Marilina Ruversa Nero d’Avola Eloro DOC 2018 is an organic Sicilian red made from 100 % Nero d’Avola grown around Noto and the Eloro DOC in southeastern Sicily by the sister-run estate Cantina Marilina, which has farmed organically since its founding in 2001.

In the glass it is a dry, medium-bodied red with a bright ruby hue and expressive fruit and floral aromatics, plum, sour cherry, rose and violet, often with an intriguing note of juniper berry that comes through thanks to vinification in concrete. The palate tends to be dense and meaty yet balanced, with juicy red fruit layered with gentle spice and a touch of minerality from the limestone-rich soils.

Cantina Marilina

Style: Winery

Cantina Marilina is exactly the sort of Sicilian winery that makes you want to immediately book flights, eat alarming amounts of seafood and pretend you understand volcanic soils far better than you actually do. Based near Noto in south-eastern Sicily, the winery focuses on organic farming, minimal intervention and native Sicilian grapes that thrive under the island’s intense Mediterranean sun.

Founded by the Paternò family and named after their mother Marilina, the project combines modern natural winemaking ideas with very traditional Sicilian vineyard culture. Everything is farmed organically, fermentations are spontaneous and the wines are handled as gently as possible in the cellar. Which sounds very peaceful and holistic until harvest season inevitably turns into complete agricultural chaos.

The grape varieties here are pure Sicily. Nero d’Avola, Grillo, Moscato and Frappato all appear regularly, producing wines that feel sun-drenched but surprisingly fresh underneath. The whites often carry salty citrus and herbal notes from the nearby sea, while the reds lean juicy, spicy and beautifully food-friendly rather than massively over-extracted.

What makes Cantina Marilina especially enjoyable is the sense of energy running through the wines. Even with all the warmth of Sicily, there’s brightness and life everywhere. Nothing feels heavy-handed or overly manipulated. The wines taste like vineyards, sea air and hot stone rather than laboratory engineering.

There’s also something very modern Sicilian about the whole project. A younger generation embracing sustainability and native varieties while completely ignoring the old idea that southern Italy should only produce bulk wine. Sicily has become one of the most exciting wine regions in Europe over the last decade and wineries like Cantina Marilina are a big part of why.
