Marsala Vergine

The Marsala Vergine 1999 is a dry fortified wine aged in large oak casks, where a slow process of oxidative ageing takes place.

It should be tasted at least 5–15 minutes after opening to allow the wine time to fully release its aromas.

The wine may contain some light sediment as it is neither filtered nor chilled, in order to preserve its organoleptic qualities.
