Marsala Superiore Rubino Sweet Red Wine D.O.C.- Martinez

Marsala Superiore Semi Dry Ruby D.O.C. - Martinez

Marsala Superiore Rubino DOC is a high quality wine, produced with a blend of Nerello Mascalese and Perricone.

It stands out thanks to its intense ruby ​​color, its aroma is fruity and spicy, with notes of wild berries, cherries and plums. In fact, its flavor is slightly sweet and fruity, which makes it perfect to combine with dry pastries, such as our Almond Paste, or with jams or hard cheeses.

This wine represents perhaps the most particular typology of the Marsala Martinez line being the only one to be obtained from red berried grapes.

The must is obtained from very ripe fruit, and the skins are left to ferment for about 24/36 hours.

Thanks to this type of processing, the must is enriched with "anthocyanins" which give this wine a bright ruby ​​red colour, and also give tannins and aromas which give body to the flavor of the wine.

After racking, the fermentation is stopped with the addition of alcohol. It is then left to age in oak barrels where the wine, being in contact with the air, develops its characteristic oxidative bouquet.
