Description

Marsala Ambra dedicated to the famous English admiral Horatio Nelson, who used marsala as a drink with healing effects for his fleet.

It comes from a blend of Grillo, Catarratto and Insolia grapes, harvested at advanced ripeness and vinified at a controlled temperature of 20-22 ° C. Fermentation is stopped by adding neturo alcohol, then cooked must is added and the product is started for aging which will last for at least 24 months in oak barrels.

Amber light to the eye, it offers a balanced range of hints of apricot and dried fig, accompanied by pleasant vanilla notes. The taste is rather dry, reached by light touches of apricot.

It is excellent with all the Sicilian traditional dry sweets, especially with those of marzipan.
