Fortified Wine	Score: ✧✧✧✧

Marsala Vergine Terre Arse shows a brilliant amber yellow color and nuances of amber yellow, transparent. The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing and refined aromas that start with hints of dried fig, rancho and almond followed by aromas of date, vanilla, citrus fruit peel, nail polish, leather, licorice and walnut husk. The mouth has good correspondence to the nose, an alcoholic and round attack, however balanced by alcohol, full body, intense flavors, pleasing crispness. The finish is persistent with flavors of dried fig, almond and date. Marsala Vergine Terre Arse ages for at least 8 years in cask followed by at least 6 months of aging in bottle.
