Description
These classic versions of semi-dry Marsala Superiore Riserva differ in the way they’ve aged and because of the addition of “mistella”, unlike Vecchio Samperi, that is unfortified. Both vintages, the younger 2009 and the more austere and older 1987 – which remind us the years they have been fortified – with their character, take us back to sensations and emotions of older times.

Marco De Bartoli has signs of these every day fights, but he has won against all odds, with the tenacious, stubborn conviction of being right, and in order to demonstrate it, he speaks a lot, as it is common in Sicily, not to speak about himself, but to allow me to drink: here it is his greatest evidence.
Today he has a family of which he is proud of: Renato and Sebastiano, sons, are quite adults, while Josephine, the younger daughter, inherited the name of his great-grandmother, of French origins. Read more
