The vineyards are grown on different chromaticities of the soil: the limestone white which reflects the rays of a relentless sun, the Mediterranean red and the black of clay, with a fair amount of organic matter and a good amount of mineral elements in the low hills at an altitude ranging from 30 to 67 meters above sea level with different exposures, taking advantage of the solar rays and with the winds that prevail in the area. The climate is hot and dry, with average maximum temperatures among the highest of the island. In the period of July–August the maximum temperatures always exceed 30C, and with the lack of rainfall occurring in this period the concentration of sugar in grapes is high, with phenomena of "withering" of the grapes.
The business vocation is mainly directed to the native vines of the area such as Moscato di Noto and Nero d’Avola, together with a careful selection of different clones of Chardonnay. Our intervention in the winery is limited simply to the respect of what is produced in the nature, supported with a modern winery, where our wines evolve and mature. Each label of Marabino, produced by specific plots of land, was created by the innate love for wine, from the most pleasant memories of childhood, giving soul, body and character to the bottles produced.
Complete is the hospitality in the winery, Torre Marabino, a Relais of excellence, nestled in the beautiful countryside of the Hyblaea area, a few minutes from the golden coastline of Sicily. An ancient Saracen Tower of the thirteenth century, the Relais offers maximum comfort feeling an integral part of the rural area by which it is surrounded. A few steps away from another reality of the Irsevice group, Natura Iblea, an organic fruit and vegetable company, with which it shares the pleasure to welcome the visitor in the local food and wine scene.
