Florio Marsala Vergine Riserva 2010 12yr 750mL
Tasting Notes
Golden in color. On the nose, it reveals marine scents, hints of broom and yellow flowers, and a subtle note of fermented grains. The palate is vibrant, dry, and full-flavored, with linear tannins.
Cultivation
Starts in mid-September, by hand, with very ripe grapes that are high in residual sugars and polyphenols.
Vinification
Powerful extraction forces come into play through the use of the traditional wine press to create musts loaded with color and high dry extracts. Fermentation takes place in cement vessels, marked by continuous micro-oxygenation, which continues even after fermentation, preparing the wine for its encounter with alcohol.
Aging
Aged in singular, small oak casks for 12-13 years, followed by three months in bottle. 1.5 micron filtration.
