Rallo's Marsala Riserva Semisecco Mille di Rallo is made from 100% Grillo grapes from vineyards located within the splendid Stagnone Islands Nature Reserve in the Marsala (TP) area. The vines involved are bush-trained on clay and sandy loam soils at an altitude of between 100 and 200 metres above sea level. After manual harvesting in boxes, the grapes were transferred to the cellar and softly pressed. Alcoholic fermentation of the must took place in stainless steel at a temperature of 16-18°C for a period of 15-20 days. A long ageing period of 6 months in stainless steel followed by a further 10 years in wood and 3 months in the bottle. The sugar content is 79.75 g/litre.

MARSALA RISERVA MILLE RALLO: THE TASTING

The Marsala Superiore Riserva Semisecco Mille di Rallo shines in the glass with a seductive amber colour. The nose bursts with enveloping scents of apricot and sultanas together with hints of citrus peel and honey and warm notes of toasted nuts and vanilla. Balsamic, toasted and ethereal hints complete the bouquet. The sip is full, soft and persistent, with an eloquent balance of freshness and sweetness. At the table it is best enjoyed with blue cheeses and chocolate desserts and in combination with dry pastries. Also excellent as a meditation wine.
