Florio Marsala Vergine Riserva 2010 12yr 750mL

Long oak maturation gives this dry Marsala a distinctive savory, coastal character. Florio’s Vergine Riserva moves away from dessert-wine sweetness, offering marine notes, yellow flowers and fermented-grain aromas over a vibrant, linear palate.

Cellaring & drinking window

The long aging described for this Marsala took place in oak before bottling. No additional bottle aging is needed for service, and we do not have a verified long-term drinking window for this specific lot. Enjoy it without planning a further decades-long cellar period. Store unopened upright in a cool, dark place with a stable temperature.

Pairing & serving

Serve cool, around 54–57°F (12–14°C), in a small white-wine glass. Try with oysters, roasted almonds or aged cheese. Decanting is generally unnecessary; pour carefully if sediment is visible.

After opening & when to enjoy

Store upright in a cool, dark place. After opening, reseal and refrigerate; aim to enjoy within 4–6 weeks for the freshest flavor. This is a quality suggestion, not an expiry date.
