Description
What kind of wine it is
Marsala Superiore G.D. Ambra Dolce by Bianchi is a rich dessert wine. It is created from a blend of Grillo, Catarratto Bianco Comune and Inzolia grapes, presenting a golden colour with bright amber highlights. The ethereal bouquet offers clear notes of raisins and honey on the nose. On the palate, it is warm, velvety and delicately sweet, finishing with a long and persistent aftertaste. Its elegant structure pairs perfectly with Prato cantuccini, dry pastries, spoon desserts and lends itself to refined pairings with cheese and chocolate.
Where it comes from
This Marsala Superiore comes from western Sicily, the ideal area for this renowned type of wine. The grapes are grown using the traditional alberello marsalese training system, an agricultural practice that enhances the concentration of aromas linked to the territory. Production takes place in the historic Baglio Woodhouse, where Bianchi works to ensure optimal ripening of the grapes and to give the wine its typical and unmistakable enveloping structure.
How it is produced
To preserve the natural sweetness of the must, vinification involves the addition of wine alcohol to halt fermentation. Afterwards, the wine is aged for over two years in oak barrels. This prolonged rest in contact with the wood enriches its aromatic complexity, stabilises the characteristic golden hues and delivers a tasting experience with a warm and velvety texture, defining the profile of a wine of great balance and depth.
History and Curiosities
This Marsala DOC Superiore G.D. Ambra Dolce originates from the historic setting of the Baglio Woodhouse. Produced from fine native grapes cultivated using the traditional alberello marsalese method, the wine is fortified to halt fermentation and preserve its delicate sweetness. The prestigious ageing in oak casks for over two years imparts intense golden reflections and an ethereal bouquet of sultanas and honey. Characterised by a warm and velvety sip, it is the ideal companion to elegantly enhance dry pastries and spoon desserts.
