Details

secco. When the wine of a certain vintage is ready, it is included in a solera system, as is also known with sherry. Marsala therefore never has a year because it is a mixture of several, sometimes many, years. As a result, a certain type or brand is also very consistent in taste and quality. Depending on the solera system used, there are different age categories. From young to old these are: Fine, Superiore, superiore riserva, vergine and the oldest stravecchio. The maturation then varies from 1 to 5 and sometimes even more than 20 years. In particular, the drier, somewhat longer matured varieties can achieve a decent quality.
