On the palate, it reveals a wine with a \u003cstrong\u003edry and intense profile\u003c\/strong\u003e, harmonious and supported by a pronounced savouriness. The finish is long and persistent, recalling dried fruit and sweet spices, making it a perfect \u003cstrong\u003emeditation wine\u003c\/strong\u003e or an excellent pairing for mature cheeses, smoked cured meats and dry pastries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes grow in western Sicily, at the heart of the Marsala Superiore production area. The vineyards are cultivated using the classic \u003cstrong\u003ealberello marsalese\u003c\/strong\u003e system, on soils that give the grapes their distinctive identity. Production takes place in the historic \u003cstrong\u003eBaglio Woodhouse\u003c\/strong\u003e, where Bianchi carefully oversees every stage of the winemaking process.

This is followed by \u003cstrong\u003efortification with grape-based alcohol\u003c\/strong\u003e, a process that stops fermentation while maintaining the wine’s dry character. The addition of cooked must defines its typical amber hue. The long \u003cstrong\u003eageing in oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e for over two years benefits from careful \u003cstrong\u003econtrolled oxidation\u003c\/strong\u003e, which is essential for smoothing the liquid and giving it a broad and persistent aromatic complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduced in western Sicily by Cantine Mirabella, within the historic Baglio Woodhouse, this \u003cstrong\u003eMarsala Superiore S.O.M.\u003c\/strong\u003e embodies the island’s authentic winemaking tradition.
