The history of the Florio winery has its roots in the distant 1833, when Vincenzo Florio, a man of vision and courage, decided to embark on an oenological journey that would indelibly mark the history of Sicilian wine. Located in the splendid setting of Sicily, a land of contrasts and wild beauty, Florio is more than just a winery: it is a symbol of tradition and innovation that has conquered palates all over the world thanks to its Marsala.
Marsala, a fortified wine that bears the name of the city where it was born, is an authentic oenological jewel that captures the essence of Sicily. The gentle hills and mild climate of the island offer the ideal conditions for the cultivation of Grillo and Catarratto grapes, native varieties that give Marsala its unique and unmistakable character. The Florio winery stands out for its production that follows traditional methods, respecting the times of nature and enhancing every nuance of the Sicilian terroir.
Each bottle of Marsala Florio is a symphony of aromas and flavors: from the warm and enveloping tones of dried fruit and vanilla, to the spicy and balsamic hints that enhance its complexity. It is a wine that can adapt to multiple occasions, from solitary meditation to the conviviality of a lunch with friends, and that manages to amaze with its versatility.
Let yourself be won over by the timeless charm of Florio wines and discover the authentic expression of Marsala on Vino45: a journey between past and present, between land and sea, in a sip of pure Sicily.

Via Vincenzo Florio, 1 - 91025 Marsala (TP), Italy
Color: clear and bright amber, with intense golden reflections that denote the evolution and the long stay in wood. The visual density is important, but not opulent, showing a coherence between structure and freshness.
Bouquet: complex and penetrating. It opens with notes of dried fruit - in particular toasted almond and walnut - followed by hints of medicinal herbs such as rosemary and dried sage. Spicy accents of white pepper and cinnamon emerge, intertwined with a salty and iodized touch, which tell of the influence of the sea and the proximity of the Cantina Garibaldi to the coast.
Taste: dry, taut and vertical, with a clear and saline attack. The sip is supported by a surprising freshness for the type, which accompanies a broad but slender structure. The wood notes are perfectly integrated and leave room for returns of fine spices, candied citrus and an elegant bitter aftertaste. The persistence is very long, with a clean and clear finish that invites meditation.

THE COMPANY
Founded in 1833 by Vincenzo Florio, the Cantine Florio of Marsala overlook the sea of western Sicily. Wrapped in the energy of the winds, made sapid by the sea, the Cellars welcome, beautiful and silent, the oak woods where the Marsala Florios refine in an apparently immobile movement. Hundreds of barrels, vats and caratelli, each with its own story, breathe the sea through the tuff floor, in the high naves where perfumes and architecture mix. In this wonderful place, where the Sicilian idea of beauty is distilled, the oenologist Tommaso Maggio, through the wise use of space, time and oxygen, creates Marsala in its many organoleptic forms.
