Description
What kind of spirit is this
Grappa di Barolo Bussia is a crystal-clear spirit crafted by Marolo, offering a structured sensory profile. Distilled from Nebbiolo pomace, it presents a broad, enveloping aroma defined by delicate floral notes. The palate is full-bodied and intense, expressing the complex elegance associated with Barolo. Bottled at 45% ABV, this harmonious spirit is ideally served neat as an after-dinner digestif to fully appreciate its warm and well-defined character.
Where it comes from
This spirit originates in Piedmont, specifically within the Langhe area. Production exclusively utilises raw material sourced from Barolo Bussia, ensuring a direct connection to its geographical roots. By focusing on pomace from this specific zone, Marolo successfully captures the authentic varietal character of the grape. This territorial imprint yields a grappa with profound aromatic breadth, translating its origins into a precise identity that highlights the natural elegance of the region.
How it is produced
Production relies on the artisanal distillation of pomace, carefully executed to extract a concentrated aromatic profile. The spirit then undergoes maturation in stainless steel tanks. This specific method preserves the primary aromas of the grape and maintains the absolute, crystal-clear purity of the liquid. The process ensures that delicate floral nuances remain evident while supporting a direct and clean expression. The final spirit balances a warm mouthfeel with its robust structure, delivering a highly precise sensory profile.

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.
