Brandy 20Y Millesimato 2004 Affinato Marsala Florio 50cl - Villa Zarri 2004

This 2004 vintage brandy from Villa Zarri, with twenty years of aging and a final finish in Marsala Florio, presents a rich yet measured aromatic profile. On the nose there are notes of dried and candied fruit — figs, raisins and candied orange peel — accompanied by honey, vanilla and a base of sweet wood that recalls toasted almond and light sweet spices. The palate is warm and enveloping: the structure is full but not heavy, the alcoholic smoothness well controlled by a fresh tension and a savory return that extends the finish.

The combination of the spirit’s character and the aftertaste of the Marsala yields an elegant balance, suitable both for contemplative tasting and paired with dark chocolate, dried-fruit tarts or aged cheeses. Recommended in large glasses and slightly warmed in the hands to release the aromas; it is a focused product, able to offer complexity without ever feeling tiring.
