Each harvest is the result of ancient knowledge, which brings grapes to the cellar ready to be vinified forcefully, in a complex, surgical process. When creating an evolutionary style Grillo wine, classical soft winemaking gives way to a more robust approach, using extreme extraction of the must from the grape, with an instinctive management of fermentation temperature. The soul of Grillo turns into Vino Florio, a wine with a bold skeleton, unique in its kind and with an elegant mood, characterized by subtle marine hints of seaweed and salt. This wine, which is used to make Marsala DOC wine, is the first step of a process through which their oenologist will create the Marsala Florio wines.

Once fermentation is complete, Vino Florio is ready to ‘fall in love’, that is, to be combined with alcohol, which will then determine its organoleptic evolution. The combination of wine and alcohol marks the official birth of Marsala winemaking. ‘Falling in love’ indicates the transition between the processes involved in making wine, it is the christening of a ‘new creature’, Marsala. Marsala Florio wine can be divided into Marsala Vergine and Marsala Superiore. Marsala Vergine is made from a combination of Vino Florio, alcohol and time. Marsala Superiore is made from a combination of Vino Florio, alcohol, mistelle, cooked must and time.
