List of products by brand Marolo

The history of the Marolo brothers' prestigious distillery is an example of innovation, tenacity and great intuitions. It all began in the Seventies, when Paolo Marolo, a young professor at the Oenology School, became enthusiastic by taking part in a course on herbal medicine and liqueur making; this is the origin of a dream, which led him to link his name to that of quality Piedmontese grappa.

In 1977 Paolo Marolo founded, together with his brother, a small distillery in the family home in Mussotto d'Alba, which took its name from a fresco depicting Saint Teresa of Avila. In a context dominated by large industrial distilleries, Paolo restored the traditional steam boiler system, more expensive and slower than continuous industrial de-alcoholizers, but capable of guaranteeing smoothness and complexity to the distillate. The first experiments with Moscato pomace gave results that went far beyond expectations. Strengthened by the first results achieved, Paolo then specialized in the distillation of Nebbiolo pomace, introducing, after long experiments, acacia wood for ageing.

Today the Santa Teresa Distillery of the Marolo brothers is led by Paolo and his son Lorenzo, capable of combining ancient artisan techniques with the most modern equipment to continue pursuing the original objective: transforming the traditional product of Piedmontese grappa into a product of great excellence. The grappas of Marolo, white or aged, produced from the pomace coming from the racking of the major and most characteristic wines of Piedmont, such as Barolo, Barbera, Moscato and Arneis, today rank at the top of grappa production throughout the Northern Italy.
