    Styles of Marsala wine

    Marsala wine is split up into different styles based on the type of grapes used (white or mostly red) and the winemaking method. You’ll discover that most Marsala made for cooking is Fino or Fine Marsala which is actually the lowest quality level of the wine.

    Sweet vs Dry Marsala wine for Cooking

    • Dry Marsala is typically used for savory entrées where it adds a nutty flavor and caramelization to beef tenderloin, mushrooms, turkey and veal. 
    • Sweet Marsala is typically used to make very sweet and viscous sauces. You’ll commonly find it used in desserts such as zabaglione and main dishes with chicken or pork loin. 

    You can substitute Dry Marsala for Sweet Marsala ingredients, but generally not the other way around. Keep a dry Marsala on hand if you’d like more versatility.
