Marsala is a historic fortified wine. It was invented by a British merchant (John Woodhouse) in 1773 who was able to export it all over the world thanks to his relations with Admiral Nelson, who bought large quantities for his fleet. Later, it also became one of the first Italian denominations. Suitable to accompany spicy foods, sausages and mature cheeses
It is a Sicilian wine characterized by the oxidative scent obtained thanks to its long aging in large oak barrels of at least 10,000 L (can be visited in the cellar). In this process part of the wine evaporates year after year, and small quantities of air enter the barrel giving its characteristic aroma. Within the production process there is the blend of Sicilian white grapes, 5% cooked grape must and alcohol from grape materials, aged in large oak barrels.
