Wine description

Targa Riserva 1840 is an elegant Marsala with a vocation for longevity, inspiring savoured in meditation or with dessert, a revelation served cold as an aperitif. Vinified from a selection of Grillo grapes and aged for at least seven years in Slavonian oak barrels to develop a truly exceptional wine, warm and soft as velvet.
