AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Marsala Vintage 1980 – Vergine Reserve
An authentic Marsala, with a bright golden-yellow color and a lively, warm antique-gold hue. Sweet and courteous vanilla notes with herbal hints recalling hay. Prominent dried-fruit and citrus notes, with undertones of dried figs, walnuts and toasted almonds, orange zest, finishing with a mineral, saline note. The taste is full, dry, warm and soft, with a perfect correspondence between the aromatic sensations on the nose, great freshness and almost sea-salty sapidity. An elegant, structured and persistent wine.

To be served as a fresh aperitif (8°/10°) paired with canapés of smoked fish enriched with spices, excellent with bruschette topped with EVO oil, ricciola eggs and tuna bottarga. A conversational wine (14°/16°), to pair with well-persistent aged cheeses, dry pastries and dark chocolate, but exceptional also on its own. Recommended to be served in a tulip-shaped glass of medium size.
