UNCLE JOSEPH, Marsala superiore Rubino dolce DOC

The Uncle Joseph Marsala Superiore Rubino Dolce DOC 2015 is an exceptional sweet Marsala dedicated to the English entrepreneur Joseph, who supported his nephew Benjamin Ingham in the thriving Marsala business in Sicily in 1819. This fine Marsala stands out for its long aging process, resulting in a harmonious, fruity aroma and velvety softness on the palate.

Made from 100% Nero d'Avola, the grapes are harvested in mid-September at an advanced ripening stage. After a cold maceration, fermentation is stopped by the addition of matured brandy aged for at least 5 years. The Marsala is then aged for at least 24 months in Allier and oak barrels.

Its intense ruby red color is reflected in an extremely fruity bouquet with black cherry, pomegranate, and plum. On the palate, it is sweet, seductive, and expressive, with dominant notes of red fruits, sour cherry, and pomegranate.

Perfect as a dessert wine, especially paired with chocolate desserts with high cocoa content.
