Founded in 1833 by Vincenzo Florio, the Florio winery in Marsala looks out towards the bright sea of western Sicily.
Wrapped by the energy of the winds, brushed by the salty tang from the waves, these beautiful and silent cellars shelter the oak barrels where Florio Marsalas age in a seemingly still movement.
Hundreds of vats and barrels, each encapsulating their own story, breathe the sea air through the tuff-stone floor, in the high naves where scents and architecture blend.
This wonderful place in which the Sicilian idea of beauty is distilled, is where Winemaker Tommaso Maggio – through the skilful use of space, time and oxygen – creates multiple expressions of Marsala.
