Marsala



General Wine Term

 


If you have ever tried Chicken Marsala, then you have tried this sweet wine from Western Sicily. Most popular in the kitchen, but sometimes served as a dessert wine, Marsala wine is often brown and syrupy because a sweetener is added. Some Marsalas, however, are kept dry and served as an apertif.
