The history of this estate is best told by Sergio Arcuri himself: "The wine producing history of our company started in 1880 with our great grandfather Pepe...(who) worked the land with simple agricultural tools and transported the harvest using horses and donkeys. Our father Peppe, born in 1931, was at 9 years old working alongside his father cultivating vines and inheriting from him the experience and techniques of the vineyards, and he soon became a grafter and cultivator of grapevines (there are now hundreds of hectares of successful grapevines which were grafted by him during his childhood) as well as being a qualified producer of genuine red wine, drawn from the Gaglioppo grape which is typical of our area." Peppe opened his own cellar in 1973, selling wines on tap. In 2009 his sons, Sergio and Francesco, modernized their father's cellar, and with their father, started bottling their own wines.

The Il Marinetto Rosato is made from 100% Gaglioppo grapes grown in the Marinetto area near Cirò Marina in Calabria. The grapes are left in contact with the skin for only a few hours before being bled off and fermented with native yeasts. In the glass, Il Marinetto displays a beautiful onion skin pink color with intoxicating aromas of citrus peel and strawberries. On the palate, this rosato displays richness and depth of flavor with the requisite acidity to remain fresh and appealing. Enjoy with rich seafood dishes like salmon or a savory poultry dinner.
