Dreamy is the word that comes to mind as the 2018 Vigna la Miccia Marsala Superiore Oro wafts up with a decadent blend of roasted almonds and hazelnuts, complicated by gingery spice and baked peaches. This opens with a pretty inner sweetness and oily textures that are perfectly offset by notes of spiced citrus, cloves, cedar and a bitter tinge of coffee grounds. It cleans up beautifully, ridiculously long and staining yet still fresh, leaving hints of cocoa and butterscotch to linger on the finish. (Eric Guido, Vinous, June 2024)

Very fresh summer squeeze of lemon and apple, with just a hint of greater complexity within but not enough to stop and think about. — 5 years ago

Somewhere between an off-dry oloroso sherry and a dry Madeira, with loads of spiced stewed fruit and toasted walnut on the palate. Drier profile than expected on account of its great acidity and touch of balancing bitter tannin. Exquisite, long, oxidative finish. Paired wonderfully with lemon tumeric pound cake. — 6 years ago

Wonderful Sicilian natural wine! Deep gold (let’s call it light orange) in color. Hints of grilled lemons with a hint of smoke. Beautifully “funky.” A true winner! Great with appetizers! Thank you Franky Bella for this selection. — 8 years ago

9.0

Interesting twist on the typical ‘natural’ wine style. Apple notes are muted and instead we get tons of lemon, some nuttiness, and a very long salty finish. Only small gripe is the alcohol. A tad too aggressive for 11.5%. — 8 years ago
