Marsala Sicilian fortified wine
Marsala It is a fortified wine produced in the province of Trapani. Marsala is made using white and red grapes, and its origin is attributed to a fortunate meeting with the wealthy English merchant Woodhouse, who became the largest producer of Marsala until the emergence of the historic Florio Cellars.
It is said that the merchant landed in Marsala instead of Mazara del Vallo due to a storm and, seeing a deal fade away, went to drink in a tavern. Here he tasted the Perpetuum, of which he purchased a stock to sell in his homeland. He is said to have been the first to add 2 liters of alcohol to the wine to transport it to his native land, where it met great success. A great reason to start direct production.
Marsala, a prestigious dessert fortified wine, was the first Italian wine to receive the Denomination of Controlled Origin in 1969. To produce a bottle of Marsala, it is necessary to start from a wine with an alcohol content of 12%. During fermentation, racking is carried out to obtain oxidation (Soleras method) and then alcoholic components and cooked must are added (virgin Marsala does not include this), varying for each cellar.
