Vincenzo Florio was a merchant who, in 1832, decided to invest in Marsala. He desired to diversify his investments, so he bought a tract of land along the Marsala coast. Here he built a Baglio, a traditional Sicilian winery, in tuff stone, one of the undisputed symbols of one of the most important wineries in western Sicily. After going through the most disparate vicissitudes, also related to the events of the two world wars, the company was purchased in January 1998 by Illva Saronno Holding. This Marsala is aged 18 years in oak casks, in the historical cellars 200m from the sea. Aromas of malt, coffee beans, green olives and candied fruit. Different layers of integrated flavours with honey, salty caramel, and medicinal herbs. Full-bodied with ripe acidity to lean on, it stretches out to a long salty and nutty finish.
