Giancarlo Frazzitta, one of Italy’s finest producers, makes Opici Marsala to our specifications. Dott. Frazzitta uses only Fine (Fee-nay) Marsala from the D.O.C. zone in Western Sicily. The secret of its unique excellence is that it is made without the addition of caramel coloring, cooked with (Cotto) or disguising flavor stretchers such as Mistella or Sifone (combination of grape juice and alcohol). Opici Marsala Fine gets its rich golden color solely from blending in older reserves of Marsala. It is the traditional, neglected method of making quality Marsala. Opici Marsala Fine is a multi-vintage wine. Consistent taste and fragrance are guaranteed by blending in special old Cuvees. Opici Marsala Fine is available in both Dry and Sweet. Both are excellent for drinking and for kitchen use, as a cooking or flavoring agent. Unmatched Value!!
