Marsala Superiore Riserva Oro DOC - 2004
This wine, with its memorable bouquet of perfumes and aromas, was conceived and produced to respect its “natural” tradition: it is fortified with a “mistella” produced from fresh grape must and fruit brandy obtained from the same grapes of the base wine.
These classic versions of semi-dry Marsala Superiore Riserva differ in the way they’ve aged and because of the addition of “mistella”, unlike Vecchio Samperi, that is unfortified.
100% Grillo planted between 1970 and 1996 in Contrada Samperi, Marsala, in mostly level land, with sandy loam soil. The grapes are picked and selected by hand, soft-pressed, naturally decanted, and traditionally fermented with wild yeasts at room temperature, in oak barrels. Part of the must is enriched with grape spirit for the preparation of the so-called “mistella,” which is later added to the wine. The wine ages over 10 years in oak vats of different sizes.
