De Bartoli – Marsala Vergine Riserva
Grillo from Sicily, Italy
100% Grillo. The best way to consider this very traditional Marsala is in relation to its closest relative in the De Bartoli line-up, the unfortified Vecchio Samperi wine (see entry on our website). There are 2 key differences however: the vergine riserva wine was separated from the main solera in...
