Marolo – Grappa di Barolo 15 anni – 2004

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 15 year Barolo grappa has been aged for just 15 years in small barrels. The pomace of Barolo comes only from the 2004 vintage. It is an austere, dry grappa, with aromas of spices and toast also given by the wood. 1893 bottles produced.
