Marsala Superiore Oro Riserva Vigna La Miccia by Marco De Bartoli was born in 1985 from the union of tradition and new enological technologies. The 12 hectares of vineyards dedicated to this wine feature Grillo vines nearly thirty years old in Contrada Samperi, Marsala. The harvest takes place in early September with manual grape selection; this is followed by soft pressing, natural sedimentation, and fermentation with indigenous yeasts at a controlled temperature in steel tanks. The wine then ages for 4 years in new French oak barrels, which are kept constantly full.

MARSALA SUPERIORE ORO RISERVA VIGNA LA MICCIA MARCO DE BARTOLI: THE TASTING

Marsala Superiore Oro Riserva Vigna La Miccia semi-dry by Marco De Bartoli presents an intense amber color in the glass. The nose is broad, with sensations ranging from toasted walnuts and almonds to chestnut honey, from cocoa beans to barley candy, and from coffee beans to myrtle, thyme, and bay leaf. The palate is sweet and enveloping, balanced by cedar freshness and sapidity, with a long finish of caramelized fruit. Best enjoyed slightly chilled, not cold, accompanied by blue or aged cheeses, or brioche bread and foie gras.
