Marsala
[ mahr-SAH-lah ]
Imported from Sicily and made from local grapes, Marsala is Italy's most famous
FORTIFIED WINE. It has a rich, smoky flavor that can range from sweet to
DRY. Sweet Marsala is used as a
DESSERT WINE, as well as to flavor such desserts as the famous
ZABAGLIONE.
DRY Marsala makes an excellent
APÉRITIF. There are also special Marsala blends with added ingredients such as cream, eggs and almonds.
