Marsala

White

Riserva

This current-release Marsala Superiore Oro is 100% Grillo vinified in oak and chestnut barrels, then fortified with a mistella consisting of Grillo from the same vines. Superbly aromatic, it fills the room with wafts of lime peel, wood polish, caramelised nuts and dried fruits. With 60g/l of residual sugar, it's sweet but not overly so; well balanced by zesty acidity. The concentration and precision is excellent, and its saline character combined with rich nutty, citrus peel and  stone fruit flavours makes this a great accompaniment for cheeses.
