Produced in Marsala, located at the western tip of Sicily, Marsala is one of the world's four great fortified wines, and its name means "Port of God" in Arabic.
It is said that Marsala originated in 1773 when the British merchant John Woodhouse, trying to make a wine that could withstand export, imitated Madeira and Sherry.
It is made after aging for more than two years in oak barrels.
Amber in color, it has a rich and intense aroma, and a velvety smooth taste.
A medium-bodied, sweet Marsala. Enjoy with dessert, or as an after-dinner drink.
Classification: Marsala DOC

Tasting: Aromas of dried fruit, orange marmalade, licorice, and nuts spread. It is well-balanced, sweet, smooth, and full-bodied, with a long finish reminiscent of almonds and coffee.
