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.

It has a straw yellow color and an aroma of wild herbs and altitude flowers. --- Gamma: in physics, Gamma is the notation of the Lorenz factor, an equation that relates the dilation of time to the contraction of physical quantities, discovered at the time by Einstein. Wine makes people talk, unites people, expands the perception of time. Anyone who is passionate will experience the long chats around the emotional details that wine offers. Hours in which emotion and passion gracefully distort reality, transforming discussions around wine into pleasant journeys through history, culture and places, without moving from the table. Whenever wine is on the table, in the glass, it becomes a means for those who are passionate about it for long and passionate conversations. Culture, art, gastronomy mix with the evocation of the places where wine is produced, a virtual journey that extends for hours.
