The Marolo Grappa di Barolo 12 Years Old is an exceptionally well-aged grappa, distilled from the fine Nebbiolo grapes. These grapes come from the renowned wine-growing regions of Langhe, Monferrato and Roero, which are known not only for their first-class wines but also for their scenic beauty – a UNESCO World Heritage Site that is cherished worldwide.

Thanks to 12 years’ ageing in oak casks, this grappa develops exceptional depth and complexity. The long ageing ensures a perfect harmony between the distillate’s robust, spicy notes and the elegant vanilla and woody nuances of the casks. With an alcohol content of 50 % vol., this grappa is powerful yet balanced and smooth on the palate.

The Marolo distillery, founded in 1977 in Alba, is renowned for its artisanal perfection and its passion for high-quality grappas. The Grappa di Barolo 12 Years Old is a true meisterwerk that captures the essence of Nebbiolo pomace and achieves exceptional finesse through its long ageing process.
