DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
Florio is one of the historic Marsala houses, based in the town of Marsala on the western tip of Sicily. Vecchioflorio is its Marsala Superiore range, and this is the dry version. It is made from Catarratto grapes picked by hand late in the season, after September 20, when they are very ripe.
After fermentation the wine is blended with fortified must, cooked must and wine brandy, then aged for almost three years in oak casks and vats, at least 24 months of it in cask. The producer describes an amber color with gold highlights, a nose of raisins and vanilla, and a warm, full palate that ends on bitter almond and raisin. This is a real dry Marsala with some age on it, and far better for cooking than the cheap bottles sold for the kitchen.
Serve it chilled to 46-50F as an aperitif with medium-aged cheese or roasted almonds, or a little warmer, around 57-61F, with pastries and dried fruit after dinner. Use a small wine glass. A splash also makes a proper chicken or veal Marsala.
Bottle size: 750ml
