Vecchio Florio Marsala Superiore Italian Dry Fortified Wine 75 cl 18%

Marsala Vecchio Dry – Vecchio Florio (English translation)

Vecchio Florio Marsala Dry is a classic dry marsala with roots dating back to 1833, when the Florio family established their winery in Sicily. It was here they began producing the iconic oxidised fortified wine that has since become one of the island’s most renowned specialties – and an excellent alternative to both sherry and madeira. The Florio name gained even more recognition in the 20th century, when the family created the legendary Targa‑Florio motor race, which helped spread both the fame of marsala and the Florio brand internationally.

In the glass, the wine shows a beautiful amber‑gold colour with warm, glowing hues. The aroma is rich and expressive, offering notes of nuts, prunes, vanilla and dried fruit – classic hallmarks of a well‑aged marsala. Although the bouquet may suggest sweetness, this is a dry marsala with a fine balance of body, acidity and the characteristic oxidative depth.

The flavour is harmonious and elegant, with a dry, nutty profile, gentle spice and a rounded, warm finish. It is a wine that can be enjoyed on its own, used in cooking, or served with mature cheeses and desserts featuring nuts or dried fruit.
