Product information "Pellegrino Marsala Old John Superiore Riserva Ambra Semisecco 0.75L"
In 1773, a wealthy Liverpool businessman named John Woodhouse landed by chance on the Marsala coast of Sicily and was the first to produce Marsala by adding alcohol to the local wine. This led to the creation of Marsala wines, which he then shipped to the United Kingdom, the main market to this day. The inland regions of Marsala and Mazara del Vallo enjoy a Mediterranean climate: mild winters, little rain, and very hot and windy summers. The white grape varieties Grillo, Catarratto, and Inzolia, used for this Marsala, grow there and are harvested from mid-September onwards, just before they are fully ripe. Cantine Pellegrino Marsala Old John Superiore Riserva Ambra Semisecco is aged for four years in selected oak barrels, followed by a six-month finish in barriques. The "Ambra" designation refers to its brownish amber color. The nose detects lovely notes of apricots and carob with delicate aromas of thyme and black pepper. On the palate, it is full-bodied and warm with notes of apricots and candied fruit. Marsala Old John is a good accompaniment to all Sicilian pastries made with ricotta and pastry creams.
