The story
Cantine Florio was founded by Vincenzo Florio in 1833 in Marsala. During the 19th century the company established itself as a reference for the production and ageing of Marsala, developing cellar infrastructure with tuff floors and many oak vessels. The company's history is closely linked to the evolution of Marsala DOC and the winemaking traditions of the area.
Ageing
Ageing in oak casks with durations differentiated by category (e.g. Marsala Vergine at least 5 years, Vergine Riserva at least 10; Superiore at least 2 years, Superiore Riserva at least 4). Amaro della Compagnia is aged in wood for at least 18 months. The different climate‑conditioned naves on tuff floors influence organoleptic development.
