Marsala wine made by Cantine Florio is the fruit of a crossbreed of islands. According to legend, it was popularized by John Woodhouse, an English trader (and, according to German poet Novalis, “every Englishman is an island”) who tasted the wine in 1773, while in Marsala, and immediately fell in love with this product of the Italian island, Sicily. Marsala was traditionally aged in wooden casks, and acquired a similar taste to Spanish and Portuguese wines that were popular in England at the time. Woodhouse noticed his fellow countrymen’s appreciation and started to produce the delicacy in Sicily, following the “Solera” method of aging.

Then, in 1833, the Palermitan Vincenzo Florio (and many say that “every Sicilian is an island”) decided to give the British Empire some competition. In only a few years his company became the top producer of Marsala wine in the world.

After almost two centuries, the historic Cantine Florio – with their 165-meter-long naves, pointed arch ceilings, beaten tuff floors – still treasure about two thousand different-sized casks, barrels, and vats, used to make and perfect Marsala. But also ‘passito’ (straw wine) from Pantelleria and Malvasia from the island of Lipari.

Just like in the past, these wines are born form a crossbreed of islands.
