Marsala "Fine" which is used for cooking and made in the town of Marsala Sicily is always a dark caramel color. Genuine Marsala is made using the Grillo, Inzolia, and Catarratto white grape varietals which are primarily grown in Italy. These grapes and the process of cooking the grapes (called making a "cotto"). gives it it's dark color. Marsala Superior is lighter in color, more expensive but not as well suited for cooking use.
