Marolo Distilleria

Marolo is one of Italy’s most highly regarded distilleries and is located in the heart of the Barolo zone, in the town of Alba. By provenance their specialty is grape distillate or grappa. Marolo’s first grappas were born in 1977 from the desire to transform a traditional, often rustic product into an excellent example of the distiller’s art. From that time on, he has consistently worked with herbs, and the pomaces of noble grape varieties to make spirits that exalt the special qualities of each variety. Over time single varietal pomace distillation has become their focus.
