Marabino is found in Noto in southern Sicily, known for it's Baroque city and wild, fertile hills. Biodynamically farmed, with no use of herbicides, no chemical or synthetic treatments or fertilizers. Their pesticide treatments are limited to low doses of mine sulfur; fertilizations are limited to biodynamic preparations, shredded pruning and green manure of grasses and legumes.

The Archimede Riserva started with a purchase of an vineyard with an old 'pupato' sapling of Nero d'Avola on calcareous soil slightly exposed to the south. There are many varieties of fruit trees in this vineyard, pomegranate, rowan and apricot which add to the distinctive breadth of the wine. The deep roots of the vines dig deep into the subsoil, giving the grapes a concentration and richness which translates to elegant facets that distinguish this Archimede Riserva from the other Marabino wines.

The wine ferments with indigenous yeasts, with a long maceration of the must with the skins. Vinified in steel, it ages in cherry wood barrels for 12 months before a long bottle aging.
