Merchant's description

Marco de Bartoli Vecchio Samperi Marsala is a distinctive unfortified wine crafted through the traditional perpetual solera system. This wine showcases the Grillo grape and displays oxidative notes of dried fruits, salted almonds and subtle spices, alongside a vibrant acidity that underscores its structure. Marco de Bartoli is a pioneer in the revival of authentic Marsala. The grapes are sourced from the family’s estate in western Sicily, where the terroir imparts unique mineral qualities to the final wine.
