Production Details Grapes from the coastal area of Marsala are destemmed and undergo pre-fermentation maceration and fermentation in stainless-steel vats at 20–25°C for approximately one week with frequent délestage. The wine is fermented dry and remains on the skins for a further seven days, then is fortified to 18%; the producer also specifies additions of mistella and cooked must. Maturation lasts five years in a mixture of Slavonian casks and French and American oak barriques and tonneaux. An archived producer sheet recommends serving at 10–14°C.
Tasting Notes Dark amber; aromas of dried figs, almonds, honey and vanilla; round and soft, with dried fruit, nuts and honeysuckle and a sweet, clean finish.
Food Pairing Blue cheeses, chocolate, traditional Sicilian cakes and biscotti
