Description

This Marsala Superiore Riserva is produced in honour of the English merchant Benjamin Bip, active in Sicily around 1806; he had the merit of founding a real economic empire with the production of marsala at the centre.

It is obtained from a blend of Grillo, Catarratto and Insolia grapes, harvested at advanced ripeness in the coastal belt of Marsala and Petrosino, in the province of Trapani. Fermentation takes place at a temperature of 18-20 and is stopped by adding brandy aged for at least 5 years in oak barrels. Marsala Bip Benjamin ages for more than 48 months in oak barrels and for another 6 months in barriques.

Intense gold with amber reflections, the colour opens to the ethereal and fruity nose, with strong hints of melon in which light honeyed and medlar notes participate. On the palate it is sweet and persistent, with fruity flavours ranging from apricot to cooked pear.

Ideal in the company of the ricotta or pastry cream desserts typical of the Sicilian tradition.
