This 12-year-old grappa showcases Marolo's dedication to the art of aging, as the extended maturation in oak barrels imbues the spirit with a remarkable depth and complexity that echoes the noble character of Barolo wine. The choice of Nebbiolo grapes, combined with the meticulous aging process, results in a grappa that not only honors the rich winemaking tradition of Piedmont but also offers a refined and elevated spirit experience.
