Maestro
Grappaiolo Paolo Marolo creates this special blend from grappas distilled
from selected fresh Nebbiolo grape pomace of the incomparable wine
of Barolo. Aging the grappas 36 to 42 months in wood before blending
(30% in 600-liter acacia barrels and 70% in 228-liter oak barriques)
imparts a lovely straw color, a deeply ample aroma, and enormous full-flavored
character balanced by velvety smoothness.”
F. Paul Pacult, in
his Spirit Journal, finds in Marolo’s Grappa di Barolo “...a
seriously seductive bouquet that’s on the mark from start to finish...this
grappa offers multilayered tastes...one of the more complex grappa
flavor experiences I’ve come across in the past two years...a
flavor banquet of fruit and spirit; the finish is....amazingly
elegant; a top drawer grappa that deserves a wide audience.
