Grappa di Barolo 12 Years (700 ml deluxe gift box) Marolo
The Grappa di Barolo 12 Years from Marolo - Distilleria Santa Teresa, comes from a long journey that began in the 1970s, a time when Paolo Marolo started producing artisanal distillates using small steam boilers. The production process relies on an absolutely high-quality raw material, consisting of fresh and fragrant Nebbiolo grape pomace, sourced from winemaking of Barolo carried out by local wineries. At the end of the distillation process, a fragrant, delicate, and elegant distillate is obtained, which is aged for a period of 12 years in small oak and acacia barrels. The combination of two different essences allows for an extraordinary aromatic complexity and the pleasant slightly honeyed notes typical of acacia. Alcohol content 50°

THE GRAPPA
The Grappa di Barolo 12 Years by Marolo - Distilleria Santa Teresa originates from a long journey that began in the 1970s, when Paolo Marolo started producing artisanal distillates using small steam boilers. The production process relies on absolutely high-quality raw materials, consisting of fresh and fragrant pomace from Nebbiolo grapes, sourced from vinifications of Barolo carried out by local wineries. At the end of the distillation in the alembic, a fragrant, delicate, and elegant distillate is obtained, which is aged for a period of 12 years in small oak and acacia casks. The combination of two different essences allows for an extraordinary aromatic complexity with pleasant slightly honeyed notes typical of acacia. Alcohol content 50°.
THE DISTILLERY
The story of the prestigious distillery of the Marolo brothers is an example of innovation, tenacity, and great insights. It all began in the 1970s when Paolo Marolo, a young professor at the Enological School, became enthusiastic after participating in a course on herbalism and liqueurs; this is the origin of a dream that led him to link his name with quality Piedmontese grappa.
In 1977, Paolo Marolo founded, along with his brother, a small distillery in the family home of Mussotto d’Alba, named after a fresco depicting Saint Teresa of Avila. In a context dominated by large industrial distilleries, Paolo restored the traditional system of small steam boilers, which is more expensive and slower than industrial continuous de-alcoholizers, but capable of ensuring smoothness and complexity in the distillate. The first experiments with Moscato pomace yielded results that exceeded expectations. Building on these initial results, Paolo then specialized in the distillation of Nebbiolo pomace, introducing, after extensive experimentation, acacia wood for aging.
Today, the Distilleria Santa Teresa of the Marolo brothers is run by Paolo and his son Lorenzo, who are able to combine ancient artisanal techniques with modern equipment to continue pursuing the original goal: to transform the traditional product of Piedmontese grappa into a product of great excellence. The grappas of Marolo, whether white or aged, produced from pomace coming from the pressing of the most important and characteristic wines of Piedmont, such as Barolo, Barbera, Moscato, and Arneis, now rank among the top producers of grappa in all of northern Italy.
