Summary

Exclusive historical term connected to a specific “Marsala” Superior DOC typology. At the beginning, the term was used in honour of Garibaldi who tasted this wine when landed in Marsala. He appreciated it for its characteristics due to the particular production process which implies a minimum ageing period of two years, at least, in wooden casks.
