Marolo Grappa di Amarone

Marolo Grappa di Amarone comes from Distilleria Santa Teresa of the Marolo brothers in Alba, Piedmont. It is distilled from the pomace of the Amarone grapes Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella, then aged in oak barriques, which give it a deep amber colour. Marolo describes fruity cherry notes joined by almond and hazelnut, finishing on mint and anise, with balsamic and herbal touches throughout. It is bottled at 45% ABV in a 700ml bottle, each one wrapped by hand and sold in its own case, under a label illustrated with a stag beetle and cherries.
