Marsala Superiore Sweet Ruby 'Uncle Joseph' Pellegrino 2015

Marsala Superiore DOC Rubino Dolce Uncle Joseph is a fortified wine from Cantine Pellegrino , characterized by great structure, high alcohol content and intense aromas. It is a wine dedicated to the entrepreneur Joseph, who arrived in Sicily in 1819 to collaborate in the production and distribution of Marsala in the world, by ship. Before being vinified in white (naturally), the Nero d'Avola grapes are grown on soils with a slight prevalence of clay, in the Mazara del Vallo area. The work in the vineyard is carried out rigorously, to verify that the bunches reach the perfect level of ripeness. Equally accurate is the manual harvest phase, followed by the white winemaking process which begins with cold maceration on the skins. The alcoholic fermentation is stopped thanks to the addition of a wine distillate, previously left to refine for five years in oak barrels. Once everything is assembled, it rests for at least two years in large Allier oak barrels. The Marsala Superiore DOC Rubino Dolce Uncle Joseph is an intense wine, it is expressed on the nose on elegant fruity notes. On the palate it is sweet and fruity, with great balance. Perfect to combine with dark chocolate. To be tasted immediately, but it gives unprecedented sensations if kept in the cellar for a few years.
