Marsala Superiore Riserva Ambra Semisecco DOC 1985 (750 ml. wooden box) Pellegrino
Marsala Superiore Riserva Ambra Semisecco DOC 1985 by Cantine Pellegrino is an extraordinary wine, an authentic expression of the centuries-old Marsala tradition. Made from Grillo and Catarratto grapes, it is enriched with cooked must that gives it the typical warm amber color. This Marsala is classified as Superiore Riserva due to an aging of over 20 years in oak barrels, which refines its complexity and depth. The semisecco version perfectly balances sweet and oxidative notes with a vibrant freshness. On the nose, it releases aromas of dried fruit, figs, carob, and sweet spices, while on the palate it stands out for its enveloping structure and long, harmonious finish. Perfectly paired with blue cheeses, dry pastries, or enjoyed as a meditation wine. A winemaking masterpiece that tells the story of time and the art of Cantine Pellegrino, founded in 1880 in Marsala.

Address:
Via del Fante, 39, 91025 Marsala (TP), Italy
Color: Deep and intense amber, reflecting the oxidative evolution undergone during the long aging process. The copper and mahogany reflections create a warm and enveloping brightness, typical of high-quality aged Marsala.
Bouquet: Rich, complex, and layered, with an initial impact dominated by dried fruit (dried figs, dates, toasted almonds), followed by elegant notes of caramel, burnt sugar, and candied orange peel. Tertiary aromas of sweet tobacco, leather, and resins emerge, with a finish that recalls cinnamon, nutmeg, and ancient wood, in an olfactory tapestry that tells the story of nearly four decades of aging.
Taste: Warm, velvety, and of great structure, with a perfect balance between gentle sweetness and still vibrant freshness, avoiding any soft decline. The residual sugar is well integrated, supported by a solid acidic backbone and a savory accent. The persistence is very long, with returns of bitter almond, chestnut honey, and oriental spices, in a finish that invites contemplation.
