MARSALA SUPERIORE GARIBALDI DOLCE DOP ALAGNA

Marsala is a historic fortified wine. It was invented by a British merchant (John Woodhouse) in 1773, who managed to export it worldwide thanks to his relationship with Admiral Nelson, who bought large quantities for his fleet.
Later, it became one of the first Italian designations of origin.
It is a Sicilian wine characterized by its aroma, obtained through a long aging period in large oak barrels of at least 10,000 litres. During this process, part of the wine evaporates year after year, and small amounts of air enter the barrel, giving it its characteristic aroma. Currently, it can only be produced, aged, and bottled in the city of Marsala and its neighbouring municipalities.
Alagna Winery, specialized mainly in the production of Marsala wines, offers four styles: Marsala Vergine, Marsala SOM, Marsala Fine, and Marsala Superiore Garibaldi Dolce.
