Description
Pellegrino Sweet Marsala 750mL arrives from the sun-drenched hills overlooking the Sicilian port of Marsala, where the Pellegrino family has been crafting fortified wines since 1880. This DOC dessert wine begins life as native Grillo, Catarratto, and Inzolia grapes harvested at optimum ripeness, then fortified with neutral grape spirit and aged in a solera of seasoned oak casks. The result pours a brilliant chestnut-amber colour, releasing a bouquet of toasted almond, dried fig, raisin, and candied orange peel lifted by a whiff of vanilla bean and caramel. On the palate, luscious sweetness is balanced by vibrant acidity and a gentle 18% alcohol warmth, coating the tongue with layers of Medjool date, toffee, honeycomb, and a subtle hint of baking spice before finishing long and silky.
Versatile by nature, Pellegrino Sweet Marsala is a classic ingredient in zabaglione, tiramisu, sauces for chicken or veal, and holiday panettone, yet it’s equally rewarding served slightly chilled in your favourite wine glass alongside blue cheese, dark chocolate, or roasted nuts. Pour a splash over gelato for an instant gourmet touch, or enjoy it as an after-dinner contemplative sipper.
