Turi Bianco Salvatore Marino 2023
Why it's worth a try
Turi Bianco 2023 comes from the famous Contrada Buonivini near Pachino, Sicily. Made from local Catarratto grapes, known here as Mantiddatu, it’s a fresh, lively white with bright stone fruit, white flowers, and a salty mineral edge. The wine is macerated for five days before natural fermentation and rests until spring, keeping it raw and honest. The label shows a vineyard worker’s arm raising a simple glass. No fancy stems here, just tradition.
Salvatore Marino
Pure Expressions of Eloro Pachino
Salvatore Marino is a man of the land. His tiny, family-run estate in Sicily’s Eloro Pachino region produces just 8,000 bottles per year, each one a labor of love. With no filtration, no additives, and minimal intervention, his wines are as pure as the coastal air they come from.
His Catarratto and Nero d’Avola are bright, salty, and unmistakably Sicilian, capturing the essence of the Mediterranean in every sip.

Famous for Nero d’Avola, the island’s bold signature red, and Marsala, its historic fortified wine. Carricante and Grillo are key players in Sicily’s crisp, mineral-driven whites.
A volcanic island with diverse microclimates, from sun-drenched plains to high-altitude vineyards on Mount Etna. The combination of lava-rich soils and coastal winds gives Sicilian wines their signature intensity.
