Paolo Marolo's first grappa’s were born in 1977 from the desire to transform a traditional, often rustic product into an artform. From that time on, he has consistently worked with the pomaces of noble grape varieties to make spirits that showcase the special qualities of each variety.
His Santa Teresa distillery, which is in Alba, works very closely with wineries from numerous renowned regions to ensure that only the freshest pomace is used. Two small bain marie stills are utilized, One for white wine pomace and the other for the red. This artisanal method of production allows Marolo to capture the optimum characteristics of the raw materials he uses. Marolo is known for pioneering the aged style of grappa, as well as being one of the first distillers to designate single-vineyard bottlings.
Paolo Marolo’s life has been dedicated to the perfection and promotion of grappa. His work is that of an artisan with immense passion and a profound palate. Paolo still works in the distillery today, which is now helmed by his son Lorenzo. Long touted as one of the top Grappa producers in all of Italy, his nickname of Maestro Grappaiolo is well earned.
