Marsala is a city in the west of Sicily, famous for its wine of the same name. In 1773 the merchant John Woodhouse "discovered" the wine and made it famous. In 1881 the shipowner Giuseppe Lombardo Maltese had the idea to bring the wine with his ships all over the world. However, it was not until 1952 that the family started bottling their own products. Today the company is run by Orazio and Ermelinda Lombardo.
Marsala is a versatile wine, suitable for desserts, as an aperitif or as part of a cocktail. It exists as dry, semi-dry or sweet wine, in different stages of ageing. The grape varieties used are Grillo, Catarrato, Inzolia and Damaschino. Also in the colours there are different characteristics of this Sicilian wine. The Cantine Lombardo alone offers 7 different varieties.
