Marsala

Italy's Most Famous Fortified Wine, from Trapani

Marsala gives its name to one of the world's most renowned fortified wines, made from Grillo, Catarratto, and Inzolia grapes with the addition of alcohol, in a style ranging from dry to sweet, often aged for years in wooden barrels. A wine with a history tied to 18th-century English trade, which made Marsala famous worldwide long before other Sicilian denominations. The wineries in the area, often historic, offer tastings that trace this centuries-old tradition. Book your tasting at the same price as the winery.
