Marsala Superiore "Vecchio Florio" Florio

Marsala Superiore “Vecchio Florio” is an excellent fortified wine that comes from one of the oldest and most respected wineries in Sicily, Florio. This wine is made from typical local varieties, primarily Grillo, Catarratto, and Inzolia, which give the wine its characteristic flavor. Long aging in oak barrels contributes to its complexity and depth, expressed in rich tones of dried fruit, nuts, and subtle spices. With an alcohol content of approximately 18% and a deep amber color, this wine becomes not only delicious but also an elegant experience. The aroma develops into scents of raisins, caramel, and a light hint of vanilla, ensuring an unforgettable aromatic profile. The taste is full and harmonious, with notes of honey and almonds that blend with a delicate oxidative line and a long finish. Marsala “Vecchio Florio” pairs wonderfully with tiramisu, aged cheeses, pâtés, roasted poultry, and nutty desserts. It is recommended to serve as an aperitif, digestif, or with desserts, ideally at a temperature of 12–14 °C. This wine is a perfect expression of Sicilian tradition and the art of winemaking.
