The general is said to have been a teetotaller. Until he drank Marsala. The story may be legend – this wine has earned its name since 1862, when Giuseppe Garibaldi landed in Marsala with his troops and discovered the sweetness that won him over. Grillo, Catarratto and Inzolia, the classic triad of western Sicily. After the infusion and addition of mosto cotto, the Garibaldi Dolce matures for 24 months in large oak barrels – twice as long as the Fine, with correspondingly more depth and concentration.

Dark, strong amber colour in the glass. Plums, dried figs, caramel, a hint of honey – the nose is warm and inviting. Full and soft on the palate, with a sweetness that has gained structure and complexity through the long ageing in wood. With zabaglione, tiramisu – or simply after dinner, when the evening is not yet over. SUPERIORE.DE
