Production Details For the July 2021-bottled release, the grapes were destemmed, macerated and fermented in stainless-steel vats at 25–28°C for approximately 14 days. The wine was fortified with alcohol until a minimum 18% alcohol content was reached, followed by additions of cooked must and mistella. The selected blend of Marsala wines then aged for a minimum of 20 years in Slavonian oak casks and French barriques.
Tasting Notes Intense gold with amber shades; aromas of dried apricots, dates, sultanas, toasted almonds and cloves, with traces of toffee and almond on the palate and a long, elegant, spicy and salty finish.
Food Pairing Serve as an aperitif with soft cheese, anchovies or garnished toast canapés; also pair with pastries or ice cream.
