Marsala Semisecco Superiore Riserva DOC 'SR1909' 2009 (750 ml.) Florio
The Marsala DOC Superiore Riserva Semisecco “SR1909” 2009 from Florio is iconic and embodies the art of winemaking by Enologo Florio, the result of a century-old tradition and meticulous processing. Made from Grillo grapes grown on the coasts buffeted by vigorous Mediterranean winds, harvested in over-ripeness on the vine, rich in sugars and enveloped by marine sensations. The bunches arrive at the winery intact, undergo traditional pressing, and ferment in cement tanks, ready for the encounter with alcohol: it is the first “step to create Marsala DOC”. It follows a maturation of over 10 years in oak barrels, which sculpts a rich sensory profile: dried fruit, sweet spices, caramel, and briny notes. On the palate, it is velvety, clear, and surprising, perfectly balanced between sweetness and saltiness. A meditation wine, it excels with high-quality raw materials.

Florio
The history of the Florio winery has its roots back in 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. Situated 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 worldwide thanks to its Marsala.
Marsala, a fortified wine that bears the name of the city where it was born, is an authentic oenological gem that encapsulates 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 a production that follows traditional methods, respecting the rhythms of nature and enhancing every nuance of the Sicilian terroir.
Every bottle of Florio Marsala is a symphony of aromas and flavors: from the warm and enveloping tones of dried fruit and vanilla to the spicy and balsamic notes that enhance its complexity. It is a wine that can adapt to multiple occasions, from solitary meditation to the conviviality of a meal with company, and it manages to amaze with its versatility.
Let yourself be captivated by the timeless charm of Florio wines and discover on Vino45 the authentic expression of Marsala: 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 luminous amber, with golden and coppery reflections that highlight the oxidative evolution and long maturation in wood. The texture is dense and oily, with slow and thick legs 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. There are accents of sweet spices, such as cinnamon and cloves, along with a slight ethereal and iodized vein, typical of aged Marsala. 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, bright acidity, and a salty-mineral background. The body is full and enveloping, with notes of dehydrated fruit, toffee, licorice, and light woody and balsamic nuances derived from 10 years of aging in oak barrels. The finish is incredibly long, warm, and persistent, with a trail of almond and spices that lingers throughout the tasting.
Overall Rating: 92/100

THE WINE
The Marsala DOC Superiore Riserva Semisecco “SR1909” 2009 by Florio is iconic, encapsulating the art of winemaking by Enologist Florio, a product of a century-old tradition and meticulous craftsmanship. Made with Grillo grapes born on the coasts buffeted by vigorous Mediterranean winds, harvested in over-ripening on the vine, rich in sugars and enveloped by marine sensations. The bunches arrive at the winery intact, undergo traditional pressing, and ferment in cement vats, ready for the encounter with alcohol: it is the first “act to create Marsala DOC”. This is followed by an aging of over 10 years in oak barrels, which carves a rich sensory profile: dried fruit, sweet spices, caramel, and saline notes. On the palate, it is velvety, clear, and surprising, perfectly balanced between sweetness and savoriness. A meditation wine, it excels with high-quality raw materials.
THE COMPANY
Founded in 1833 by Vincenzo Florio, the Cantine Florio of Marsala overlook the sea of western Sicily. Surrounded by the energy of the winds, made savory by the sea, the Cantine welcome, beautiful and silent, the oak woods where the Marsala Florio age in an apparently motionless movement. Hundreds of barrels, vats, and caratelli, each with its own story, breathe the sea through the tuff floor, in the high aisles where aromas and architectures blend. In this wonderful place, where the Sicilian idea of beauty is distilled, winemaker Tommaso Maggio, through the skillful use of space, time, and oxygen, creates Marsala in its many organoleptic forms.
