Cantina Rallo Marsala Superiore

In the glass

Aroma: dried apricot, caramelised orange, light nut, vanilla

Palate: dried stone fruit, caramel, gentle oxidative, warm finish

Rallo's Marsala Superiore is the historic house's standard fortified expression: accessible, caramelised-fruit and gently oxidative from the 1860-founded Marsala cellar.

What it pairs with

• Zabaglione
  Marsala is the defining ingredient in zabaglione; drinking Rallo alongside deepens the experience.
• Tiramisu
  The classic Italian dessert uses Marsala; Rallo's accessible style matches perfectly.
• Pan-fried chicken al marsala
  Rallo Marsala in both the cooking and the glass is the most authentic pairing for this classic dish.

History

Cantina Rallo was founded in 1860 by Diego Rallo, making it one of the oldest Marsala houses still in operation. Acquired by the Vesco family in 1996, the estate continues to produce accessible Marsala alongside Sicilian table wines from Alcamo and Pantelleria.
