Description
Introducing the Marolo Grappa di Brunello, an exquisite spirit that captures the essence of Tuscany in a bottle. Crafted by renowned distiller Paolo Marolo, this grappa represents over four decades of dedication to transforming traditional pomace into premium distillates. Since 1977, Marolo has expertly selected the finest pomace from notable grape varieties, resulting in a spirit that exalts the unique qualities of each grape’s character.
The Marolo Grappa di Brunello is distilled from the pomace of the esteemed Sangiovese Grosso grape, integral to the legendary Brunello di Montalcino wine. This meticulous crafting delivers a clear and brilliant spirit, characterized by:
- Aromatics: A delicate bouquet of fresh and floral notes, nuanced with hints of wild berries and perfumed grapes.
- Flavor Profile: Each sip reveals a harmonious mix of floral and fruity sensations, with delightful undertones of peach, apple, and violets, culminating in a smooth finish enriched by subtle oak and minerality.
- Finish: Enjoy a refined and lingering finish that echoes tones of violet, cherry, and sun-warmed fruits, leaving a captivating impression.
As a versatile digestif, the Marolo Grappa di Brunello is best enjoyed clean and at room temperature after a savory meal. Its crisp and elegant flavors make it an ideal companion for:
- Pairing with artisanal cheeses for a delightful end to an Italian feast.
- Complementing chocolate desserts, enhancing the rich cocoa notes.
- Sipping alongside fresh fruit, highlighting the grappa's fruity undertones.
To preserve the integrity and quality of this remarkable grappa, follow these storage guidelines:
- Keep at a stable, cool room temperature (15–20°C).
- Avoid direct sunlight and store in a dark environment.
- Ensure the bottle is tightly sealed to prevent evaporation and oxidation.
- Store bottles upright, as grappa does not need cork moistening.
- Maintain moderate humidity around 50–70% for long-term preservation.
Indulge in the Marolo Grappa di Brunello and experience the spirit of Tuscany with every sip, a perfect reward for those who appreciate the intricacies of fine Italian distillation.

Storage advice
For optimal storage of Grappa follow these practical guidelines:
- Temperature: Store grappa at a stable cool room temperature ideally around 15–20°C (59–68°F). Avoid extremes or fluctuations; while serving it slightly chilled from the fridge is pleasant long-term storage at refrigerated temperatures is not necessary.
- Light Exposure: Keep the bottle away from direct sunlight and strong artificial light as UV rays can degrade the spirit’s quality over time. Store grappa in a dark place or in opaque containers to prevent light damage.
- Sealing: Ensure the bottle is tightly sealed to prevent evaporation and oxidation. Use the original cork or cap checking that it fits securely after each use. Unlike wine grappa’s higher alcohol content slows oxidation but a good seal still preserves quality.
- Bottle Position: Store bottles upright. Unlike wine grappa does not benefit from cork-moistening by storing on its side since it has no sediment and a higher alcohol content which prevents cork drying.
- Humidity: Maintain moderate humidity (around 50–70%) to protect the cork from drying out and ensure a good seal especially for long-term storage. Too dry environments may shrink corks while excessive humidity may cause mold; balance is important.
- Special Storage Tips:
- For unopened bottles keep them in a cool dark and stable environment as above.
- Once opened reseal bottles tightly and store in the same conditions. Though grappa is less vulnerable to spoilage than wine exposure to air can gradually alter its aroma and flavor.
These guidelines will help preserve the spirit’s integrity and ensure it maintains its intended character over time.
