Wine description
Targa Riserva 1840 is an elegant Marsala with a vocation for longevity, inspiring savoured in meditation or with dessert, a revelation served cold as an aperitif. Vinified from a selection of Grillo grapes and aged for at least seven years in Slavonian oak barrels to develop a truly exceptional wine, warm and soft as velvet.
Tasting Notes
Colour: bright amber colour with topaz highlights. Bouquet: marked with clear scents of dates, apricots and stewed prunes. Flavour: full, warm, smooth and velvety with a fine finish of dried fruit.
Vinification
Pressing of the grapes with a high sugar content to pass the precious substances found in the skins to the must. Fermentation at controlled temperature and blend of the resulting wine with fortified must, cooked must and wine brandy.
Ageing
At least 7 years in oak barrels with a capacity of 1,800 liters and then refined for more than a year in ancient 300-liter barrels. At least 6 months in bottle.
