Marolo – Grappa di Barbaresco “Riccio”

Marolo is one of the most niche distilleries in Italy. It was born in 1977 in a hamlet of Alba, when Paolo Marolo, formerly a herbalist teacher at the oenological school of Alba, started distilling the pomace of grapes from the Langa and Roero partly out of passion and partly for fun. In a few years he creates a real quality boutique! He was one of the first to select the best pomace from the finest cellars, and to distil specific vintages and crus. The method that made it so famous was the discontinuous distillation in a bain-marie, in order to preserve every single characteristic of the grape of origin, and to produce only a few thousand bottles. One of the youngest distilleries, but with unparalleled quality and product research. Niche!
The Barbaresco grappa comes from the best Nebbiolo pomace of the area. It is white in color, very fragrant, but with a nice character and softness.
This “Riccio” grappa is presented in a strictly hand-made blown glass bottle, perfect for a gift or collection.
