Harvest
Manual harvest occurring after late ripening, usually around the 10th of September.
Vinification
Pressing of grapes with a higher sugar content to maintain the
skin contact with must. Fermentation occurs at a controlled
temperature to maintain the tannins and prepare the wine for the
addition of “mistellaâ€, cooked must and wine distillate.
Ageing
One of the secrets of quality marsala is ageing, which is why
Vecchioflorio ages in oak barrels of different capacities for at
least 24 months.
Tasting notes
Amber with bright shades of light caramel. Hints of raisins and vanilla on the nose. Warm and round with an elegant
background of dried fruit and raisins on the palate.
