Ostinato

Marsala – yes, the same one you've seen in chicken marsala – is one of Italy's great fortified wines with a history dating back centuries. Ostinato's Fine Ambra Dolce is a sweet (dolce) amber (ambra) style that showcases the traditional character of this Sicilian classic. Produced primarily from the Grillo grape and fortified with neutral grape spirits, this Marsala undergoes a controlled oxidative aging process that develops its distinctive nutty, caramelized flavors. While many only know Marsala as a cooking wine, traditional versions like this are meant for sipping – preferably after dinner with some blue cheese or almond biscotti. The 'Fine' designation means it's been aged for at least one year, developing complexity while maintaining vibrant fruit character. It's the perfect introduction to the world of quality fortified wines and a delicious way to end a meal with something a bit different from the usual suspects.
