On the palate, the wine is as warm as a woman who’s just made love: opulent and sensual. Morello cherries reveal them- selves in the long and bewitching finish, and the choice of the name – suggested hi- therto by a thousand hints – becomes evident. Marasco confirms – no matter what the institutional context might be – that Barolo is the wine of Kings and the King of wines.
Food Pairing:
Alongside its traditional pairings, Marasco is exalted by the company of ripe cheeses – whether of sheep’s milk or of mixed sheep and goat’s milk – the kind of “toma” that you would almost deliberately forget in your cellar until time has taken its course.
