'Bip Benjamin' Marsala DOC Riserva Oro Superiore Dolce Cantine Pellegrino 2013

Bip Benjamin Marsala DOC Riserva Oro Superiore Dolce is an excellent modern interpretation of the Sicilian fortified wine par excellence: Marsala. Cantine Pellegrino 1880 , thanks to the long tradition and great desire to make its territory known, has created this label with a blend of typical vines of western Sicily, such as Grillo, Inzolia and Catarratto. The land, on which they are cultivated, is located a few meters above sea level and has a rather sandy composition. They also enjoy a purely Mediterranean climate, with hot and breezy summers. The harvesting of the bunches is carried out with care in the second ten days of September, when the ripening of the grapes is ripe. After the pressing and fermentation phases, the marsala faces a long period of refinement: first 48 months in oak barrels and then 6 months in barrique. Thus Bip Benjamin Marsala DOC Riserva Oro Superiore Dolce is obtained, a fortified wine to be drunk immediately which nonetheless has great longevity.
