Description
The *Zibibbo* from Intorcia, produced in Marsala, is a captivating Sicilian dessert wine made from the island’s aromatic Muscat of Alexandria grape, locally known as Zibibbo. This variety thrives under the warm Sicilian sun, developing intense floral and fruity aromatics, which are then concentrated through careful winemaking. Intorcia, a family-run winery with a long tradition in fortified and sweet wines, crafts this expression to highlight the grape’s natural perfume, luscious sweetness, and Mediterranean charm.
In the glass, it displays a rich golden-amber hue, promising both depth and sweetness. The bouquet is intensely aromatic, bursting with notes of orange blossom, honeysuckle, and jasmine, layered over ripe apricot, candied citrus, and honeyed fig. Subtle undertones of dried fruit, almond, and spice add complexity and warmth.
On the palate, Intorcia’s *Zibibbo* is smooth, velvety, and indulgently sweet, yet balanced by a gentle freshness that keeps it from being cloying. Flavours of golden raisin, apricot jam, and candied orange peel unfold across the palate, supported by a whisper of spice and a lingering floral lift. The finish is long and elegant, leaving impressions of honey, citrus, and blossom.
Perfect as a dessert in its own right, it also pairs beautifully with Sicilian pastries such as *cannoli*, almond biscuits, or pistachio-based sweets. It can also be enjoyed with creamy blue cheeses for a striking sweet-savoury contrast. The Intorcia *Zibibbo* from Marsala is a luxurious taste of Sicily—aromatic, golden, and irresistibly decadent.
