Origin
Marsala wine is a fortified wine that originated in the city of Marsala in Sicily, Italy. It was first produced in the late 18th century by an English merchant named John Woodhouse. Woodhouse noticed the similarity between the local wines of Marsala and the fortified wines of Spain, such as Sherry and Madeira. He began experimenting with the local grapes and production methods, eventually creating the unique style of wine that became known as Marsala. Today, Marsala wine is still produced in the region of Marsala, using traditional methods and local grape varieties such as Grillo, Catarratto, and Inzolia. It is widely used in Italian cuisine, particularly in savory dishes, desserts, and as an aperitif.
