Ageing
17 years. This Marsala Vergine has been ageing in old casks since
11/22/2006 and has its roots in the Garibaldi Winery, in cask
26DAG, 134 metres from the sea.
Harvest
Manual harvest, starting in mid-September, of grapes left to
over-ripen on the vine in order to reach a high sugar content
and a high concentration of polyphenols.
Tasting notes
Gold. Sensations of toasted hazelnuts, on the nose it gives spices and cereals. Balanced exercise in style, vertical on the
palate, always conquers with its flavor.
Serve between 14-16C.

Vinification
Deeply coloured musts, rich in dry extracts and with intense
savoury marine notes, are vigorously extracted using a
traditional wine press. Fermentation takes place in cement tanks
with continuous micro-oxygenation, also after fermentation,
to prepare the wine before adding alcohol, thus initiating the
Marsala DOC production process.
A small percentage of ethyl alcohol derived from the vines is added to the wine.
