Wine Enthusiast 90pt

An absolutely delightful introduction to this category of wines. Gold in the glass and exploding with aromas of mandarin blossom, vanilla, brown butter and rum-soaked raisins--first sip is feeling like it might be a Marsala spritz summer.

by Wine Enthusiast, 2025

Food pairing

As an aperitif it goes well with medium aged cheeses. The exotic scent of vanilla and licorice makes it the ideal accompaniment to delicious desserts.

Serve as an aperitif 6 - 8C. For dessert and relaxation 14 - 16C.

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 “mistella”, 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.
