Originating in Sicily, Marsala was one of the most expensive and popular wines in Europe for more than a century. Despite an era when it was relegated to the kitchen, Marsala is enjoying a return to its former position of prestige. Strict new regulations in the 1980’s required Marsalas to be produced in the manner, which traditionally established their fame. Once again they are being ranked with the finest fortified wines of Europe. Aromatica is just such a wine. It is made observing traditional methods and vintaged over a number of years at Panton Hill. The result is a rich, dark and complex wine with a hint of caramel, and exotic spice. It has been described as Christmas pudding in a glass. It goes well with desserts, pastries, fruits and cheeses and is delicious on its own. If you have only tried modern copies, discover why the traditional style was so popular.
Other uses: Try it on ice cream or crushed ice in the summer. Make a real Tira Misu, or a Trifle with a Mediterranean twist. Use as a marinade for berries (especially strawberries), peaches or melon. Use as an up-grader for numerous desserts, when guests that you’d like to impress, arrive unexpectedly!
This wine can be drunk now or for many years into the future.
