## Summary

Named after 'marasca', a variety of cherry once commonly grown in Roero vineyards, this wine comes from a vineyard in the village of Castellinaldo. Green harvesting allows the remaining grapes to overmature on the vine, and it is produced only in the very best vintages.

## Tasting notes

Deep ruby color with violet reflections; nose of baked red fruit, cherries and sweet spices, followed by warmth, structure and elegance in the mouth.

## Food pairings

Pairs well with main courses or simply as a meditation wine. Good with bagna cauda.
