Marsala Superiore Riserva DOC Donna Franca Florio

The Marsala Superiore Riserva Semisecco Ambra Donna Franca by Florio is born in vineyards located on the coastal strip of the municipality of Petrosino, in the province of Trapani.

It is produced exclusively with Grillo grapes, harvested manually, at advanced ripeness, between the second and third week of September. After pressing the grapes with a high sugar content, the crushed grapes are pressed firmly to extract precious substances from the skins. After a slow fermentation, the "tanning" is prepared by adding the must of mistella, cooked must and wine distillate. Ageing follows for 15-30 years in oak barrels and in the bottle for at least 6 months.

The Marsala Superiore Riserva Donna Franca by Florio has a bright topaz colour, with amber reflections. The nose opens with an intense and complex bouquet, with hints of apricot in syrup and dates, enriched with spicy notes. On the palate it is full and warm, soft reminiscent of velvet, with an elegant finish of vanilla, candied fruit, caramel and bitter almond.

Excellent for meditation, this Marsala is perfect to accompany the moment of dessert. Try it in combination with blue cheeses or as an aperitif.
