Colombo
Pick the bottle by what you are cooking. Marsala Sweet is the classic choice for desserts like tiramisu and zabaglione, and it is also good poured as an after-dinner sip. Marsala Fine Dry is the one most recipes mean for chicken or veal Marsala and savory pan sauces, and it can be served chilled as an aperitif.
The Sweet is aged in Slavonian oak and has an amber color with dried fruit and caramel notes. Once opened, Marsala keeps longer than table wine because it is fortified. Recap it tightly and store it in a cool place.
