Marsala DOC Superiore Secco 'Vecchio Florio' 2018 (750 ml.) Florio
The Vecchio Florio 2018 is a Marsala DOC Secco Superiore crafted from Grillo and Cataratto grapes, grown along the sun-drenched, sandy coastal vineyards of Marsala, caressed by sea breezes. Fermentation is halted with the addition of wine alcohol, preserving its dry character and firm structure. It ages for over 30 months in oak barrels in the historic Florio Cellar, just meters from the sea. The result is a wine with an antique golden hue, offering aromas of hazelnut, vanilla, blond tobacco, and a saline touch. On the palate, it’s dry, warm, and harmonious, with remarkable persistence and verticality. Perfect with blue cheeses, shellfish, bottarga, or as a meditation wine. A bottle that captures the true soul of traditional Marsala.

4 Items
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.
Address:
Via Vincenzo Florio, 1 - 91025 Marsala (TP), Italy
Color: intense amber with golden reflections, bright and compact, indicative of a controlled evolution and a good phenolic concentration.
Bouquet: elegance on notes of dried fruit, toasted almonds and dates, accompanied by hints of orange peel, sweet wood and a light spiciness that recalls nutmeg and blond tobacco. The oxidative component is well integrated and gives complexity without excess.
Taste: dry, structured and vertical, with a warm texture but balanced by a savory freshness that lengthens the sip. The notes of dried fruit and sweet spices return, with a slightly bitter finish, typical of Grillo in oxidative refinement. The persistence is long and harmonious, with a salty return that invites a second taste.

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.
