Drinking Window: 2023 - 2026
Marsala's not just for tiramisu or zabaglione – this sweet style, with 103g/L of residual sugar, is a fresh alternative to cream Sherry and would be delicious with a mince pie. Made by historic producer Martinez, founded in 1866, the round, creamy palate is packed with notes of nutty toffee, dried figs and vanilla oak spice.
