Vigna La Miccia Marsala Superiore Oro

Marco de Bartoli has conquered my hearth with his dry whites. Now little by little I surrender to his Marsala. I guess the next step would be something from Pantelleria (love this place thanks to Ben Rye). But right now I have pretty young and simple Marsala. But don't be fooled, it's delicious. It is not as deep as I would love it to be, but expect lemon curd, nuts, dried date fruit. Refreshing and tasty. Definitely want to explore more.

They say Marco de Bartoli has moved the reputation of Marsala. I am not the person to judge here as this is my first Marsala ever. So far I've been enjoying Madeira and wanted to try something new. And I am happy that I did. Fresh lemon notes, mixed with roasted nuts, and dried date fruit. Refreshing, pleasant acidity, citrus flavours with hints of nuts. There is evolution in the taste, good smooth finish, though I think it could be better balanced.
