The VecchioFlorio Marsala Superiore Sweet appears an amber color with bright shades of light caramel in the glass. Hints of raisins and vanilla fill the nose followed by a warm and round palate with an elegant background of dried fruit and raisins.
As an aperitif it goes well with medium aged cheeses. The exotic scent of vanilla and licorice makes it the ideal accompaniment to delicious desserts.
A blend of Grillo and Cataratto
Pressing of grapes with a higher sugar content to maintain the skin contact with must. Fermentation occurs at a controlled temperature to maintain the tannins and prepare the wine for the addition of “mistella”, cooked must and wine distillate.
One of the secrets of quality marsala is ageing, which is why Vecchioflorio ages in oak barrels of different capacities for at least 24 months.
