Distillation and production
Distillation and production
Production method
For grappa Marolo uses discontinuous bain-marie stills, separating white and red pomace and distilling very fresh vinacce. For liqueurs and amari traditional processing methods are applied using extracts and herbal infusions; in some cases macerations/infusions and subsequent wood aging are used for reserves.
Distillation
Discontinuous bain-marie stills for grappas; extracts, infusions and macerations for amari, vermouth and liqueurs; artisanal process with careful selection of raw materials.
Ageing
Aging in stainless steel tanks for many labels; maturation in small oak casks, barriques and sometimes alternative woods (e.g. acacia) for reserves and aged grappas.
Producer history Marolo
Production began in 1977 and the company is today known as Distilleria Santa Teresa dei Fratelli Marolo, headquartered in Alba in the heart of the Langhe. Over the years Marolo has expanded its offering to include fruit brandies, a line of single-varietal grappas and the relaunch of historic brands such as Ulrich (recipes dating back to the 19th century) under its own production.
Production philosophy
Valuing the territory and local raw materials: Marolo focuses on the typicity of Piedmontese grape varieties and the biodiversity of the area (Langhe, Roero and Monferrato), applying distillation processes aimed at enhancing the original characteristics of the raw material and recovering historic recipes for liqueurs and vermouth.
Territory
Alba and the hills of the Langhe, Roero and Monferrato (Piedmont, Italy).
