This wine, worthy of a hero, is dedicated to the english Admiral Nelson who appreciated it so much and wanted it in his galley.
Intense and with a remarkable sensory complexity typical of Marsala. It has aromas which recall candied fruit and dried figs, combined with woody and spicy notes. Soft, harmonious, pleasantly drinkable and with an outstanding final persistence.
Aged for a minimum of 2 years in oak barrels.
A classic dessert wine that pairs well with traditional island cottage cheese and almond desserts, dried fruit and medium or long aged cheese.
