last month i picked up a bottle of Florio sweet marsala. i want to try making chicken marsala for the first time and that was the only one in the liquor store.
how long will the marsala be good after i open it? i can't seem to find that kind of information via Google.
thanks!

Re: First marsala
Stored in a cool, dark place ... (if you are only cooking with it, then in the refrigerator) a couple of months for sure.

Re: First marsala
Haven't been able to find a "fine Marsala". Florio is as fancy as I can find at the store.
How good can Marsala taste? Any try one that was aged or something beyond the norm?

I've found Marsala Superior. It's definitely better than Fine.

Re: First marsala
These Marsala's are top notch. Not so much for cooking. Similar tasting to Madeira. Very high quality, but hard to find. Was able to buy a few bottles several years ago when Martignetti's closed their retail operations.

Re: First marsala
de Bartolis are great...in a league with good Madeiras.

Re: First marsala
I second Andreas' comment. I've had some old bottles de Bartoli Vecchio Samperi Marsala (bottles that had been cellared in the US for 20+ years) and thought, this tastes like of 120 year old Madeira. Lots of the bitter, nutty, dusty, old flavors. Didn't smell as good as a similarly aged Madeira though. But, for $80 you could buy a bottle of this now, open it after cellaring it for 20 years, and then imagine you are drinking really old Madeira and you might find it enjoyable.Andreas Platt wrote: ↑Wed Dec 01, 2021 5:58 pm de Bartolis are great...in a league with good Madeiras.
