Tasting Notes:
A revolutionary Marsala—fresh, lifted, and complex. Aromas of golden raisin, orange peel, toasted almond, and sea spray unfold into a vibrant palate with flavors of apricot, caramelized citrus, dried flowers, and subtle spice. Rich and nutty, yet agile and almost saline, with a long, elegant finish.

Food Pairings:
Outstanding with blue cheese, foie gras, almond tarts, or Sicilian cannoli. Also works beautifully with savory fare like roast duck or glazed root vegetables.

About the Producer:
Marco De Bartoli redefined Marsala by reviving traditional methods and insisting on quality and authenticity. “Vigna La Miccia” represents his modern, fresher take on Marsala—made from estate-grown Grillo, aged meticulously, and bottled with soul and precision by his children, who continue his legacy.
