Melillo Marsala
Melillo Marsala, dry and sweet, stocked in Commack since day one.
The story behind Melillo
Marsala is a fortified wine from western Sicily, made from local white grapes and strengthened with grape spirit. The dry style is savory and nutty with a saline edge, while the sweet style leans toward caramel and dried fruit. Both hold up long after opening, which is why cooks and sippers keep a bottle on hand.
We stock Melillo Marsala in the 1 liter bottle here in Commack, a dry and a sweet, at prices that make it easy to keep one in the kitchen and one on the bar.
