Florio Marsala Superiore Riserva Dolce 1994

A Marsala Dolce Superiore from Florio, telling the story, potential and charm of a timeless product through long evolution. Harvest is strictly manual from mid-September, selecting overripe bunches for high sugar and polyphenolic maturity. Fermentation takes place in cement with continuous micro-oxygenation. Ageing lasts 27 years, first in 16 hl casks, then in an 18.5 hl oak cask, and finally in 300-litre precious oak caratelli positioned 194 metres from the sea in the Garibaldi cellar. Amber in colour, it offers dates, toasted notes, balsamic herbs, liquorice and spice, with an intense, enveloping, persistent palate balanced by good acidity. Best sipped in the evening, alone or with dried fruit and chocolate pralines.
