Vito Curatolo Arini Marsala Superiore Riserva Secco 10 Year Old
£22.95
Why Mark chose this
Dry Marsala is almost unknown in this country, which is a shame because it's a completely different proposition to the sweet versions most people associate with Italian cooking. This ten-year Riserva Secco from Curatolo Arini has concentrated notes of wild almond, sultana and orange peel, but the dry finish means it works as a serious aperitif or with salty, umami-rich food. The kind of wine you open once and find yourself returning to all evening.
