Description
What kind of spirit is this?
Marolo Grappa di Amarone is an Italian spirit distilled from the fresh pomace of Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella grapes. This oak-matured spirit presents an amber hue and a structured profile. The bouquet reveals clean aromas of cherry, blackberry, and dried fruit, alongside distinct balsamic tones. On the palate, it offers a soft, velvety texture and balanced intensity. Oak ageing provides roundness without masking the fruit, while the firm finish reveals elegant balsamic hints and dried fruit notes.
Geographical origin
Produced in Piedmont, this spirit reflects Marolo’s dedication to meticulous sourcing. The distillery ensures the pomace arrives fresh and still saturated with wine to preserve its aromatic integrity. By utilising grapes destined for Amarone, the process maintains a direct and expressive fruit character. This careful handling yields a precise profile that captures the authentic essence of the Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella varieties.
Production process
Production begins with the immediate processing of freshly pressed pomace. Marolo employs discontinuous bain-marie distillation, using gentle, controlled heat throughout the process. This specific batch method prevents harsh extraction, preserving the delicate integrity of the varietal aromas. The spirit then rests in oak barrels, a crucial stage where slow maturation deepens the amber colour and softens the mouthfeel. This careful ageing process harmonises the spirit’s warm profile, resulting in a beautifully integrated grappa full of aromatic depth.

Marolo represents the spirit of the land, the loyalty to its most noble vineyards and the transformation into a grappa that glorifies its natural characteristics. Distillation happens in bain marie disctoninuos stills, one for white and another for red, in small batches over a long period of time so that the original flavours of the grapes can be experienced.
Marolo is based in Alba, the capital of the Langhe, one of the world’s premier winegrowing districts for its diversity of grape varietals and the quality of its wines. The Langhe hills produce some of the finest red wines, such as Barolo, Barbaresco, Barbera, Dolcetto and Brachetto, but also great whites like Roero Arneis and the aromatic Moscato d’Asti.
Marolo’s grappas are a mirror of the incredible richness and diversity of the territory and viticulture. Not a neutral, standardized, industrial product, but a spirit able to narrate the grape from which it came, to enhance the varietal’s typical aromas, and express a unique, personal character linked to its land of origin.
