Since 1977, the distillery Marolo has been offering the best quality grappas, produced with passion, professionalism and the utmost care.The secret of success lies in the innovation in combining artisan techniques with the most modern equipment. Paolo Marolo prefers to distill fresh, selected marcs obtained from a single grape variety. The storage in acacia barrels and in French oak barriques has resulted in truly top-quality products.
Grappa is a grape marc spirit from Italy. It is distilled from the fermented alcoholic press residues of wine production, the pomace. Grappa was first mentioned by name in 1451: a Piedmontese notary bequeathed his descendants a cellar with a distillation plant and large quantities of grappa. Only distillates produced in Italy from the skins of domestic grapes are allowed to bear the name grappa. Any other distillate made from foreign pomace, even if it is produced within the national borders, is not allowed to do so.
