VAT included
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.
