MARVELOUS MARSALA SUPERIORE RISERVA DOLCE 2015
This wine is made from late hand-picked Grillo grapes with a high sugar content. During the fortification, which is the phase of the production process where the type of Marsala to be obtained is defined, alcohol, mistelle and cooked must are added to the DOC base wine made from Grillo grapes, giving it its sweetness and intense amber color. The aging process can then begin in oak barrels in which the wine is in contact with the air for many years, developing the characteristic oxidative bouquet.
Grape varieties: Grillo - Catarratto - Inzolia
Alcoholic strength : 18% vol

An excellent dessert wine, especially with ricotta and dried fruit desserts, it goes well with the famous Modica chocolate or with one of our excellent Belgian dark chocolates. Recommended as an aperitif with blue-veined cheeses, with a preference, from Maison Sicile, for Stilton for the English touch.
MARVELOUS MARSALA SUPERIORE RISERVA SECCO 2013
