A sector that, after years of stagnation and a phase that led to liquidation, is trying to get back on track through <strong>new governance<\/strong>. A revival that involves the <strong>production regulations<\/strong>, <strong>commercial repositioning<\/strong>, and <strong>renewed dialogue among producers<\/strong>.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Telling WineMag about the state of affairs is <strong>Benedetto Renda<\/strong>, owner of <strong>Cantine Pellegrino<\/strong> and president of the <strong>Consorzio Vino Marsala DOC<\/strong>, who in an exclusive interview reconstructs the reasons behind the <strong>Marsala crisis<\/strong>. And the <strong>stages of the restart<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-advanced-heading uagb-block-912a3f06\"><h5 class=\"uagb-heading-text\"><strong>THE MARSALA DOC CONSORZIO BETWEEN CRISIS AND GENERATIONAL CHANGE<\/strong><\/h5><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Without <strong>generational change<\/strong>, the Consorzio had faded away,&#8221; Renda explains. The <strong>lack of new leadership<\/strong> and a shared vision had progressively weakened the Consorzio&#8217;s ability to represent the denomination. &#8220;I was somewhat between the old generation and the new generation,&#8221; he recalls, remembering a period lacking momentum and vision.  <\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-advanced-heading uagb-block-17c29793\"><h5 class=\"uagb-heading-text\"><strong>THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FLORIO AND PELLEGRINO AND THE STAGNATION PHASE<\/strong><\/h5><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For decades, Marsala could rely on a balance built through dialogue between the two main producers in the region. &#8220;<strong>The relationship between Pellegrino and Florio<\/strong> in the 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s was very strong.&#8221; A relationship that fostered growth and development. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then the break. &#8220;The dialogue that lasted forty years between Florio and Pellegrino died,&#8221; Renda says bluntly. Noting that together, the two entities represent the largest share of the denomination: &#8220;<strong>Florio and Pellegrino represent 60-70% of the denomination<\/strong>.&#8221;  <\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-advanced-heading uagb-block-413be495\"><h5 class=\"uagb-heading-text\"><strong>ROBERTO MAGNESI AND THE REBIRTH OF THE CONSORZIO VINO MARSALA DOC<\/strong><\/h5><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>turning point<\/strong> came about five years ago. &#8220;A new head of Florio came here to Marsala, young, dynamic,&#8221; Renda explains, identifying <strong>Roberto Magnesi<\/strong> as the figure who reopened dialogue among the producers. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At that time, the Consorzio was already in liquidation. &#8220;<strong>We managed to pull it out of liquidation<\/strong>. We kept the same name, the same tax code, the same VAT entity.

Who is the potential consumer?<\/strong>&#8221; <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Renda emphasizes how &#8220;Marsala&#8221; remains a name rooted in Italian collective memory: &#8220;We know very well that in the homes of 95% of Italian families in the 40s, 50s, and 60s, <strong>a bottle of Marsala was never missing<\/strong>.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-advanced-heading uagb-block-6c17c543\"><h5 class=\"uagb-heading-text\"><strong>DRY MARSALA VERGINE, APERITIF, AND NEW PAIRINGS<\/strong><\/h5><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The consortium strategy focuses on <strong>repositioning the most distinctive types<\/strong>. &#8220;We&#8217;re relaunching and rediscovering it\u2014Renda emphasizes\u2014also <strong>as an aperitif<\/strong>. Just take a bottle of dry Marsala Vergine, put it in the fridge, and enjoy it with aged cheeses, blue cheeses, or various appetizers.&#8221;  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among the pairings mentioned are also <strong>oysters and foie gras<\/strong>, with the goal of &#8220;taking Marsala beyond the image almost exclusively tied to cooking,&#8221; that is, as a wine ingredient, albeit excellent, used to &#8220;deglaze&#8221; meats or enrich desserts like tiramisu. References to contemporary gastronomy are also present: &#8220;Have you ever tried <strong>a slice of rare tuna with a glass of Marsala Vergine<\/strong>?&#8221; <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-yoast-seo-related-links yoast-seo-related-links\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.winemag.it\/marsala-al-vaglio-il-lancio-della-docg\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Marsala, DOCG Launch Under Consideration.

A Marsala, especially in terms of quality-price ratio, can offer more excitement than rum in cocktail creation.&#8221; Then there&#8217;s mass retail, the world of supermarkets. A segment that, as Renda himself notes, has almost exclusively carried the basic types of the denomination.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;At the supermarket\u2014the president notes\u2014you practically only find Marsala Fine and cooking Marsala. But in the last two years something is changing. We&#8217;re also starting to talk with mass retailers about Marsala Superiore. Many chains have also added this type. This is very important.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The presence on shelves of <strong>Marsala Superiore Florio<\/strong> and <strong>Marsala Superiore Pellegrino<\/strong> is considered &#8220;a sign of attention toward the quality tiers of the denomination.&#8221; &#8220;Today\u2014he adds\u2014supermarket wine buyers finally listen to us.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-advanced-heading uagb-block-2f642acd\"><h5 class=\"uagb-heading-text\"><strong>THE NEW MARSALA DOC PRODUCTION REGULATIONS AND THE SICILIA<\/strong> DESIGNATION ON LABELS<\/h5><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among the actions undertaken by the Consorzio is work on the <strong>Marsala DOC production regulations<\/strong>. &#8220;We updated the regulations\u2014Renda explains\u2014trying to give more prominence to Grillo grapes, which are the foundation of our denomination.&#8221; The modifications, which came into effect in July 2025, essentially confirm the grape variety base. But they update other quality elements, such as the new minimum natural alcohol content of 13% vol (previously 12%).   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;A clear indication\u2014Benedetto Renda concludes\u2014of the <strong>direction toward wines with greater structure and aromatic potential tied to the base grapes<\/strong>. Grillo, with its characteristically high natural sugar content and distinctive organoleptic properties, remains central to defining the quality of Marsala DOP.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>Sicilia designation<\/strong> has also been added. &#8220;The need, in this case\u2014he continues\u2014was to distinguish Marsala DOC from non-European productions that use the same name. Not everyone knows, in fact, that in California they make a product called &#8216;Marsala.'&#8221; <\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-advanced-heading uagb-block-c8a946a0\"><h5 class=\"uagb-heading-text\"><strong>WINE TOURISM IN MARSALA BETWEEN INVESTMENTS AND &#8220;AESTHETICS<\/strong>&#8220;<\/h5><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the hospitality front, <strong>the picture remains uneven<\/strong>. &#8220;Unfortunately\u2014the Consorzio president notes\u2014not all wineries are equipped to welcome tourists and wine tourists. The positive aspect is that several producers are now starting to invest in this area as well, which can be an additional driver for Marsala sales.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;In the region\u2014Renda concludes\u2014there&#8217;s renewed attention, even from an &#8216;aesthetic&#8217; standpoint. Many have repainted their facades or fixed their signs,&#8221; he says. Still too early, evidently, for the new institutional website of the Consorzio. But <strong>Renda is optimistic: &#8220;We&#8217;re on the rise.
