Sweet Wines

RossoMandorla is the last born among the Martinez flavored products, the result of the union of two typical Sicilian flavours: Nero D'Avola wine and almonds. This combination gives life to a sweet dessert wine, with a deep red color typical of the vine of which it is a child, intense and persistent on the nose and in the mouth. In RossoMandorla the characteristic notes of Nero D'Avola wine, which are best expressed thanks to a long maceration process, are sweetened with the intense flavor of the aroma of bitter almonds. The processing is then completed with a small addition of alcohol.

When the liqueur exceeds the size of the wine and becomes a dessert, creams are born to be enjoyed cold by the glass or as an ingredient for desserts.

Dedicated to grandmother Tanina, mother of 5 children, a generous and sweet woman but at the same time authoritative and decisive as Marsala La Madre presents itself: warm and enveloping in its amber colour, disruptive on the nose, sweet but never cloying in the mouth. In the Concia which is the phase in the production process in which the type of Marsala to be obtained is defined, the Mistella was added to the DOC base wine from Grillo grapes which gives it sweetness, cooked must and alcohol to then start the aging in oak barrels.

The Superiore Rubino is a semi-dry Marsala. In the range of Marsala Martinez, it represents a particular typology being the only one to be obtained from red berried grapes. In the must obtained from very ripe fruit, the skins are left to ferment for 24/36 hours. During this period, the must is enriched with anthocyanins which give intensity to the ruby colour, tannins and aromas which give body to its flavour. After racking, the fermentation of the must is stopped with the addition of alcohol, followed by the aging process in oak barrels, in which the wine is in contact with the air, developing its characteristic oxidative bouquet.

Marsala Fine DOC is the youngest in the Marsala wine family. In fact, as per the production disciplinary, it is aged for only one year and for this reason it is intended for use in the kitchen, where it is an inevitable ingredient in various sweet and savory dishes due to the unique aroma it brings.

Marsala Vergine is characterized by longer aging and simpler tanning. In this type, in fact, only alcohol is added to the base wine. Then begins the aging in large oak barrels which are never completely filled to allow the development of the characteristic oxidative aging. From generation to generation, the Vergine Riserva Perpetuo is fed in the large oak "coffers" in the Cantina Martinez under the watchful eye of the oenologist Florio Martinez and his staff who take care of it right up to the moment of bottling.

The Marsala Superiore Secco, in the Marsala Martinez range, is placed between the drier Marsala Vergine and the Superiore Dolce on the basis of flavour. During the Concia which is the phase in the production process in which the type of Marsala to be obtained is defined, alcohol and Mistella are added to the wine, an element responsible for the roundness and softness of this type of Marsala. The aging process then begins in rivore barrels in which the wine is in contact with the air for many years, developing the characteristic oxidative bouquet.

The Marsala Superiore Dolce bears the name of the Garibaldi because it is told both the type and the same preferred when he landed in Marsala to make the unification of Italy. With a residual sugar of 11%, it is the sweetest of the Marsala Martinez and probably for this reason it is the most loved by the female public. During the Concia which is the phase in the production process in which the type of Marsala to be obtained is defined, alcohol, Mistella and cooked must are added to the wine which gives it an intense amber colour.

Weekly check of the concentration of sugars and, usually a few days before Christmas, the pressing, the birth of this must which gives off aromas of apricot, peach, plum that bring the mind back to the summer that has long since passed. We fill a barrique with this nectar and let the fermentation take its course. A long and tiring job that, only after a long time and not always, pays off the sacrifices.
