Marco de Bartoli Marsala Superiore Oro Vigna La Miccia 5 Anni
In 1982, de Bartoli created 'Vigna La Miccia', classified as an 'Oro' or gold Marsala, which is a sweeter, fresher dessert wine produced using a cold maceration vinification process; it reveals an intense bouquet of Grillo. It is aged for 4 years in barriques that are constantly topped up with new wine. Sublte and semi-dry, it will pair wonderfully with prawns, cheese, foie gras, and dessert.

Nose | Lovely complex aromas of cinnamon and spice, dried figs, raisins, and dates |
Palate | Fruity and elegant palate with flavours of fruit, tobacco and even a little garrigue. Very long length of flavour. Would work particularly well with food. |
