Marsala Superiore can bear the initials SOM (Superior Old Marsala), L.P. (London Particular), G.D or Garibaldi Dolce. This name goes back to a visit to the establishment of Marsala Florio who made General of the Two Worlds in 1862, after the unification of Italy. He, fond of good wines, but not particularly competent, was particularly struck by a very sweet wine still in production and to further cuts in his honor this wine came in and took the name of Garibaldi Dolce. The governing its operations provides for the production of Marsala Superiore:
alcohol content of at least 18% off; extract (indirect method) at least 18 g / l; fixed acidity (expressed as tartaric acid) at least 3.50 g / l; volatile acidity (expressed as acetic acid) not exceeding 1 g / l; minimum two years aging.
Delicate and winning Marsala Superiore aged for beyond two years in barrels of rovere. Its intense scent of vaniglia comes exalted from the bra presence. Ideal in coupling to cakies from furnace.
From the best selections than grapes Grillo and Catarratto, this chosen Advanced Marsala historian is born far away in 1862 from the hero of the two worlds like wine from meditation.
The impact on the palate is strong as if to defy the taster, while the aftertaste is persistent and intense, both from having to delay the next sip to reveal all the feelings that can to offer.
