Nose
Intense, with a great olfactory finesse; it releases particular hints of dry figs, carobs, burnt sugar and sweet spices

Full to the palate, full-bodied, warm and embracing, with a balsamic and agreeable aftertaste but not very sweet

Winemaking
In steel tanks at controlled temperature (25/26°C); once got the basic wine, we make the “blend” which consists in the addition of ethyl alcohol of wine origin, cooked must and “mistella” to the basic production in order to let it get the organoleptic and sensorial complexity, typical of Marsala wine

Dark amber
Food Pairing
Excellent dessert wine to pair with dry and creamy sweets of the sicilian confectionery; but it pairs very well with seasoned cheese, dry fruit and artisan chocolate from Modica
