Pairings: Marsala vergine is a wine style predominantly dry. Thanks to its extraordinary complexity and balance, it could be considered a meditation wine, to sip in cognac balloon snifter and to substitute an XO distillate. Serve it at room temperature or slightly chilled (14-16 °C, that is about 57-61 °F)

The 1988 Marsala Vergine Riserva mixes amber with red hues, lifting up dusty and savory with notes of cave-aged gouda, quince, baked apple and clove. With time in the glass, it gains in volume, evolving to show rich dark chocolates and dried roses. There are depths of texture here, yet it’s wonderfully balanced by vibrant acidity as salted caramel and exotic spices wash across the palate, leaving a coating of mineral-drenched orchard fruits under an air of burnt sugar and tobacco. The experience goes on and on, as minutes can go by, and you’re still not just tasting but feeling the 1988’s glycerol heft lingering incredibly long. This edition of the Vergine Riserva was bottled in 2019, which is stated on the front label.
