Marsala DOC Superiore Riserva Semi Secco 2001 - Florio is born in the historic Sicilian land, where the Mediterranean climate and limestone terroirs give the wine a unique structure. Produced mainly from Grillo, Catarratto, and Inzolia grapes, this Marsala is aged according to the traditional Florio method, with a long aging period exceeding four years, giving it complexity and depth.
In the glass, it shows a bright amber color, while on the nose it releases intense aromas of honey, dried fruit, and light notes of vanilla and sweet spices. The palate stands out for the balance between sweetness and freshness, accompanied by a pleasant persistence that invites another sip. Perfect as a meditation wine or paired with aged cheeses and almond-based desserts, the Florio Marsala Superiore Riserva 2001 embodies elegance and tradition.

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.
