Josèphine rouge Vino Liquoroso 2019 500ml

Tasting Notes for Josèphine rouge Vino Liquoroso 2019 500ml by Marco de Bartoli

Colour & Appearance

Muted garnet red, lightening towards the rim with subtle, cognac-coloured reflections.

Nose

An inviting aroma of juicy red fruits, nougat, drying raisins and dark forest honey. Sweet spices combine with surprisingly fresh fruit aromatics to create a complex opening.

Palate

On the palate, the wine appears red-fruited, medium-dry and full of energy. The interplay of natural sweetness, supporting acidity and lively structure makes the proud 18.0% ABV seem remarkably well integrated. A refreshing yet warming mouthfeel.

Finish

An impressively long-lasting finish, in which the sweet-spicy notes and distinctive fruit linger for a long time.

Terroir & Origin

Sicily. The traditional winery from Samperi near Marsala stands for the consistent use of indigenous grape varieties and masterful viticulture that reinterprets traditional paths.

Grape Variety & Vinification

Vinified from the indigenous grape variety Pignatello. The De Bartoli family relies on training methods such as Alberello or Guyot in the vineyard, manual harvesting, and fermentation with indigenous yeasts in the cellar.

Food Pairings

Excellent with rocket salad with oranges, pomegranates, candied walnuts and feta. Equally a superb choice for pan-fried liver with pear and cranberries or a dessert featuring nougat and raspberries steeped in Marsala.

Special Features

A fascinating Vino Liquoroso reflecting the bold philosophy of the De Bartoli estate: the concentration of a fortified wine meets astonishing freshness and vibrant drinkability.
