Description
What kind of spirit is this?
Grappa di Moscato Après by Marolo is a Piedmontese grappa crafted from fresh Moscato pomace using gentle bain-marie distillation and aged for five years. Visually striking with its dark amber colour, it presents a complex profile defined by distinct vanilla and almond notes. On the palate, it delivers a smooth, enveloping texture, leading to a warm, well-balanced sip with a pleasantly almond-led finish.
Geographical origin
Crafted in Piedmont, this spirit reflects its northern Italian roots while embracing southern influences. Marolo enriches the spirit’s profile by utilising Sicilian barrels that previously held Moscato di Pantelleria. This connection bridges two renowned regions, where the interaction with these ex-sweet-wine casks imparts distinct aromatic nuances to the final spirit.
Production process
Production relies on a gentle bain-marie distillation method to preserve the delicate aromatic compounds of the fresh pomace. The spirit then undergoes a five-year maturation, resting first in small oak casks before moving to Sicilian oak barriques. This prolonged wood ageing builds structure, ensuring a soft mouthfeel and a perfectly integrated flavour profile.
History and Interesting Facts

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.
