SR0408 Superior Semi-dry Marsala Reserve DOC 2008 - Florio marsala Premium

Marsala Florio SR0408 - Marsala Superiore Riserva Semi-Dry DOC 2008 from the Florio Marsala Premium Collection

Florio's Marsala Riserva SR0408 is born from a unique and punctual vision of aging. The 9SAG barrel witnesses an oenological singularity, created 120 meters from the sea, in a temporal space of elevation of 14 years.

The dry, long and persistent tannin, accompanied by a balanced sweetness, and the scent of spicy notes and custard, make it perfect as a meditation wine. Also try it with the avocado salad

Extreme, difficult, listening enology, deep and secret intimacy with the winery and a long journey are what give it a story to tell to those who come, even after many decades.

An oenology of profound intimacy with the cellars is what creates the liquid art of Marsala. The ancestral ability to do, to grasp the time of grape ripening, the time of pressing, the time of sur lie, the time of falling in love, the time of evolution in oak wood, listened to by the beating heart of Winemaker, they give voice to Marsala.

Visceral art, exercised every day out of love and with love, made of delicacy, intelligence and sometimes brutality, with the awareness of creating something that in many years will tell the story of this winery, to those who will drink a Marsala Florio.
