Marsala DOC Superiore Riserva Semisecco 'SR1909' 2009 (750 ml.) Florio
MarMarsala DOC Superiore Riserva Semisecco “SR1909” 2009 by Florio is an iconic Marsala that embodies the craftsmanship of the Florio winemaker, born of centuries-old tradition and meticulous care. Made from Grillo grapes grown along coasts swept by strong Mediterranean winds, harvested overripe on the vine, rich in sugars and imbued with marine sensations. The grapes arrive intact at the winery, undergo traditional pressing, and ferment in cement vats, ready for their meeting with alcohol—the first “act to create Marsala DOC.” It then matures for over 10 years in oak casks, shaping a rich sensory profile: dried fruit, sweet spices, caramel, and saline notes. On the palate, it’s velvety, bright, and full of character, perfectly balanced between sweetness and savoriness. A true meditation wine, it pairs beautifully with top-quality ingredients.

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: deep and bright amber, with golden and coppery reflections that highlight the oxidative evolution and the long maturation in wood. The consistency is dense and oily, with slow and dense arches in the glass.
Bouquet: intense, broad and layered. Initial notes of dried fruit (hazelnuts, toasted almonds), dried figs and dates emerge, followed by sensations of candied orange peel, caramel and dark honey. Accents of sweet spices, such as cinnamon and cloves, and a light ethereal and iodized vein, typical of aged Marsalas, can be perceived. The bouquet is harmonious and complex, with a depth that develops over time in the glass.
Taste: semi-dry, with a perfect balance between residual sweetness, lively acidity and a saline-mineral undertone. The body is full and enveloping, with returns of dried fruit, toffee, licorice and light woody and balsamic nuances resulting from 10 years of aging in oak barrels. The finish is very long, warm and persistent, with a trail of almond and spices that accompanies the tasting for a long time.

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.
