Description
What kind of spirit is this?
Grappa di Barolo from Marolo is a structured Italian spirit distilled from Nebbiolo pomace, bottled at 50% abv. It displays a brilliant amber colour, reflecting extensive maturation in wood. The aromatic profile opens with pronounced notes of dried plum, raisin, and candied fruit, subtly lifted by citrus and fruit jam. On the palate, the spirit is soft and enveloping, offering intense flavours without being cloying. The harmonious finish leaves a persistent trail of pepper, liquorice, clove, and tobacco.

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.
