From this winery
  • Start up year: 1833
  • Oenologist: Tommaso Maggio
  • Bottles produced: 1.600.000
Founded by Vincenzo Florio in 1833 in Marsala, Western Sicily, the Florio Wine Cellars gaze out towards the sea. With grapes caressed by breezes and flavourful due to the proximity to the sea, the magnificent and silent Florio Wine Cellars house the oak barrels where the Marsala Florio wines age, seemingly motionless. Hundreds of barrels, vats and wooden kegs, each holding its own story, breathe the sea through the tuff-stone floor, in the high aisles where scents and architecture blend. This wonderful place is the theatre where the Sicilian idea of beauty is distilled, and our oenologist – through the wise use of space, time and oxygen – creates Marsala wine by slowly blending all its sensorial potentials.
