ABOUT THE PRODUCER

Established in 1875 the winery is run by the fifth generation of Curatolos, making it the oldest Marsala producing business. The fermentation is slow at 20-25 degrees Celsius. The base wine is 12% alcohol and has a residual sugar level of 20 grams per litre.

Alcohol, fresh grape must with added alcohol (known as mistella) and concentrated grape must (mosto cot to - traditionally baked to reduce volume by one third) are added to the base wine giving a final alcohol level of 17% and the desired sugar level for this Dolce (sweet) style of Marsala wine.
