The 20-Year Aged Grappa di Barolo originates from a long journey that began in the 1970s. It was during this time that Paolo Marolo became passionate about this world and began producing artisanal distillates with small steam boilers, quickly gaining attention thanks to his natural talent. Over the years, the company has grown, but it has maintained the same spirit as its origins. The production process relies on raw materials of absolute quality, consisting of fresh and fragrant Nebbiolo grape pomace, sourced from Barolo vinifications carried out by local wineries. At the end of the passage in the alembic, a fragrant, delicate, and elegant distillate is obtained, which is matured for a period of 20 years in small oak and acacia barrels. The combination of two different essences allows for extraordinary aromatic complexity and the pleasant, slightly honeyed notes typical of acacia.
The 20-Year Aged Grappa di Barolo, crafted by Marolo at the Distilleria Santa Teresa, is a bottle dedicated to those who prefer to taste highly 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, luminous 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 blond tobacco. The sip is seductive and soft with an entry on the palate that is enveloping, warm, and dense with harmonious aromas, which unfold towards a finish of great gustatory persistence.
