About Marsala wine

Marsala is a fortified wine from Sicily, used both as a drink and as a cooking ingredient. It is made in different styles, including dry and sweet versions, and may be aged for differing lengths of time; the label and style affect its flavour and intended use.

Its colour ranges from golden to deeper amber or brown, and its flavour can be nutty, dried-fruit-like, or sweet depending on the style. It is sold bottled and may be used in sauces, desserts, or other cooking. Cooking can reduce some alcohol, but the amount retained depends on the method and duration.
