A little about Marsala

LOMBARDO MARSALA

 Lombardo Family History

 
   Marsala is Sicily's most honored wine. In 1773 John Woodhouse an English merchant from Liverpool began exporting this wine from Sicily to England. Since then Marsala has been exported throughout the world and Lombardo Marsala has gained a high reputation.

   Most of the world recognizes that, legally, Marsala can only be produced in Sicily. However, there are wine producers in the United States that bottle an inexpensive imitation of Marsala. The domestic Marsala is completely different from Lombardo Marsala. If you compare the two side-by-side you will immediately see the difference, smell the difference, and taste the difference.

   Any recipe prepared with domestic Marsala will be inferior to a recipe that uses genuine Lombardo marsala as an ingredient. In fact, the world's   finest restaurants will only use genuine Marsala in preparing their dishes.

     In 1881 the ship owner Giuseppi Lombardo established a wine house in Western Sicily in the city of Marsala. His company refined and innovated new techniques to produce Marsala wine. The prominence and reputation of Lombardo Marsala grew, as his ships carried his wine all over the world.

 

   Today, the descendents of Giueseppi Lombardo carry on his cherished wine making traditions using the same time honored methods. They continue to refine, innovate, and perfect the techniques used to make Marsala. The dedication and efforts of four generations of Lombardo's give birth to Italy's finest Marsala.

 

   The Lombardo family       graciously extends thier appreciation to customers all over the world. They pledge to continue making the finest Marsala possible, and look forward to hearing your comments. E-Mail them directly at :
