The Grappa di Barolo 15 Anni from Marolo - Distilleria Santa Teresa comes from a long journey that began in the 1970s, when Paolo Marolo started producing artisanal spirits with small steam boilers. The production process relies on a raw material of absolute quality, made from fresh and fragrant pomace of Nebbiolo grapes, sourced from wineries in the Barolo area. It is a dry and austere distillate that does not indulge in cloying notes, aged for a period of 15 years in small oak and acacia barrels. The long aging imparts a unique sensory imprint. It has great aromatic power and smoothness during tasting. The aromatic profile is dominated by spices and hints from the barrel. Alcohol content 50°.

THE GRAPPA
The Grappa di Barolo 15 Years by Marolo - Distilleria Santa Teresa originates from a long journey that began in the 1970s, when Paolo Marolo started producing artisanal distillates with small steam boilers. The production process relies on an absolutely high-quality raw material, made from fresh and fragrant Nebbiolo pomace, sourced from winemaking of Barolo done by local wineries. It is a dry and austere distillate that does not indulge in cloying notes, aged for a period of 15 years in small oak and acacia casks. The long aging imparts a unique sensory imprint. Great aromatic power and smoothness during tasting. The aromatic profile is dominated by spices and hints from the barrel. 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 connect his name with high-quality Piedmontese grappa.
In 1977, Paolo Marolo founded, along with his brother, a small distillery at the family home in Mussotto d’Alba, named after a fresco depicting Saint Teresa of Avila. In a context dominated by large industrial distilleries, Paolo reinstated the traditional small steam boiler system, which is more expensive and slower than industrial continuous de-alcoholizers but capable of ensuring smoothness and complexity to the distillate. The first experiments with Moscato pomace yielded results that exceeded expectations. Strong from the initial results achieved, Paolo then specialized in the distillation of Nebbiolo pomace, introducing, after long experimentation, acacia wood for aging.
Today, the Distilleria Santa Teresa of the Marolo brothers is run by Paolo and his son Lorenzo, who combine ancient artisanal techniques with the most 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 sourced from the pressing of the major and most characteristic wines of Piedmont, such as Barolo, Barbera, Moscato, and Arneis, now rank at the top of the grappa production in all of Northern Italy.
