The 20 Years aged Grappa di Barolo comes from a long journey that began in the 1970s. It was during that time that Paolo Marolo became passionate about this world and began producing artisanal distillates with small steam boilers, immediately standing out thanks to a natural talent. Over the years, the company has grown, but it has preserved the same spirit of its origins. The production process relies on an absolutely high-quality raw material, consisting of fresh and fragrant pomace from Nebbiolo grapes, coming from vinifications 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 20 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.
The 20 Years aged Grappa di Barolo, produced by Marolo at the Distilleria Santa Teresa, is a bottle dedicated to those who prefer to taste very evolved grappas, inspired by the style of great French distillates. It is the perfect choice for those looking for a bottle to open on a special occasion or to share with great enthusiasts and connoisseurs. It presents itself with a fascinating amber color, bright and with brilliant reflections. The bouquet is very complex and elegant, with spicy aromas of nutmeg, vanilla, ripe fruit aromas, candied bitter orange peel, hints of dried fruit, licorice, and blonde tobacco. The sip is enticing and smooth with an entrance on the palate enveloping, warm, and dense with harmonious aromas, that stretch towards a finish of great taste persistence.
