It belongs to the category of fortified wines, such as Port and Sherry, but with a uniquely Italian personality.

The manual harvest of overripe grapes – rich in sugars and aromatic substances – ensured a must of great concentration and complexity. The result is a Marsala that combines power and finesse, with a crucial component of freshness that enhances its drinkability.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWinemaking and Aging\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe production process of Marsala Semisecco Superiore Riserva DOC 2014 - Florio follows the most authentic tradition: after pressing with traditional presses, fermentation takes place in cement tanks, where the must benefits from controlled micro-oxygenation. Fortification – the addition of wine alcohol – stops fermentation and confers the typical fortified character of Marsala.\nThis is followed by a long maturation period in oak barrels for over twenty years, stored in the historic Florio cellars, a few meters from the sea. This contact with the sea breeze imparts saline nuances and an unmistakable harmony between sweetness and savoriness.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eColor\u003c\/h3\u003e\nVisually, it presents an intense amber color with golden reflections, luminous and dense in the glass, a sign of long aging in wood.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNose\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe bouquet is complex and enveloping, with notes of caramel, dried fruit, figs, candied orange peel, and subtle hints of vanilla and sweet spices. Every nuance tells the tale of patient time and the unmistakable imprint of the Florio winery.\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePalate\u003c\/h3\u003e\nOn the palate, it is soft, balanced, and velvety. The sweetness of the residual sugar is contained and balanced by a pleasant savory vein. The finish is long and warm, with echoes of toasted almond and honey. It is a wine that captivates with its depth and harmony.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat dishes to pair with Marsala Semisecco Superiore Riserva DOC 2014 - Florio\u003c\/h2\u003e\nThis Marsala is best enjoyed with structured and richly flavored dishes.
