Cantine Intorcia is located in Marsala the most western city of Sicily and Italy. Marsala is the leading commune of the province--Trapani-- where the vine is most extensively cultivated in Italy.

The origins of grape-growing and winemaking in the Marsala area go back to the period of Phoenician colonization (8th-6th centuries BC). In the period of Greek supremacy, Marsala rose to a position of great importance and in the 3rd century BC its port was the most important wine market of the Mediterranean basin.  John Woodhouse, an English merchant, arrived in Marsala in 1770 and was so impressed by the Marsala wine that he immediately acquired 20,000 liters to be shipped to England. It was Woodhouse who coined the wine's name. Lord Horatio Nelson also made a major contribution to the establishment of Marsala's reputation in England through his purchase of a large supply of the wine, which he described as "worthy of the table of any gentleman". Another British merchant, Benjamin Ingham, in 1812 as an exporter introduced it throughout the world.

The Intorcia Winery was established in 1930 by the Intorcia family who still manages the business. The winery has grown over the years and significant modifications have been made to incorporate new technologies improving the product’s quality.

Born as a  “baglio”, a small family business, the Intorcia’s wineries now extend over an area of 25,000 sq. m (250,000 sq ft) which hold more than one hundred thousand hectolitres and can store more than 20,000 hl in oak casks.

The business has always distinguished itself for the production of Marsala wine, fortified wines (Zibibbo, Moscato, Malvasia) and I.G.T Table Wines (Nero d’Avola and Insolia).
