A beautifully amber wine with generous notes of dried apricot, raisin and melted honey that slide down silky smooth. Thick, syrupy and sticky, this passito delivers that much needed sugar rush at the end of a satisfying meal.

A precious golden color and rich, flavorful consistency make this Moscato passito a real crowd pleaser. The complex nose is accented by a delicate but unyielding rush of fresh apricot, peach cobbler, toasted almonds and honeysuckle.

Dark amber in color with golden reflections, this is a sweet Marsala redolent of maple syrup, brown sugar, almond, pine resin and dried fruit. There’s a prominent vein of exotic spice that carries over to the mouth and rides over a long finish. Imported by Banfi Vintners.

Aged 15 years in oak, Donnafranca Marsala is a new product from these historic cellars with notes of resin, maple syrup and honey roasted almonds. At 19% alcohol it’s intense and powerful without the burn; it ends on a long note of toasted almond.

This dry version of Sicily’s most famous fortified wine boasts lingering tones of pinecone, walnut and custard for a more austere and powerful style. This Marsala is deep brown in color and very spicy on the close. Imported by Banfi Vintners.

You’ll detect toast, caramel and crème brûlée backed by dried fruits and honey and a dense, viscous consistency in the mouth. It represents what Italians refer to as a “meditation wine” because you’ll want to let it linger in your glass.

Textbook Marsala with caramel, candied fruits, citrus peel and lots of toasted, nutty notes. A good opportunity to consider Marsala on its own and not as a cooking ingredient for sauces.
