Description
Experience the rich heritage of Italian distillation with Marolo Monriondo Grappa di Barbera, a premium grappa crafted from carefully selected Barbera pomaces sourced from the Barbera d'Alba region. This exquisite spirit undergoes an intricate aging process in barriques that have previously housed exquisite wines, imparting a delicate complexity and a warm amber hue with subtle red tints.
The grappa captivates the senses with its inviting profile, showcasing:
- Nose: A warm, fruity bouquet featuring ripe berries, gentle vanilla undertones, a touch of honey, and whispers of smoky spice.
- Palate: A refined tapestry of flavors where warm red fruit intertwines with subtle spices and a hint of smokiness, resulting in a smooth, silky texture that lingers delightfully.
- Finish: A rich culmination of ripe red berries, velvety vanilla, and soft spice notes that deliver a long-lasting and pleasantly round mouthfeel.
The Marolo Monriondo Grappa di Barbera is not just a drink; it is a sensory journey that reflects artisanal mastery and the lushness of a late summer evening. Best enjoyed as a digestif, it pairs seamlessly with a selection of flavors, enhancing your drinking experience:
- Serve at an optimal temperature of 16°-18°C in a high tulip goblet.
- Perfectly accompany with fresh fruits, such as peaches, pears, or apples.
- Complement with delightful dried fruits or sweet indulgences like chocolate.
To preserve the quality and integrity of your grappa, adhere to the following storage recommendations:
- Maintain a stable, cool environment between 10-20°C (50-68°F), ideally around 15°C (59°F).
- Store in a dark space, shielding the bottle from direct sunlight and bright artificial light.
- Ensure the bottle remains tightly sealed, storing upright to maintain cork integrity.
- Keep humidity levels at around 60-70% to protect corks.
Indulge in the artistry and depth of Marolo Monriondo Grappa di Barbera, where each sip is an invitation to experience the passion and tradition of Italian craftsmanship.

Storage advice
For optimal storage of Grappa here are practical recommendations focused strictly on preserving quality and shelf life:
- Temperature: Store grappa in a consistent cool environment ideally between 10-20°C (50-68°F). A temperature around 15°C (59°F) is often recommended to maintain aroma and flavor without accelerating aging or deterioration.
- Light exposure: Keep grappa bottles in a dark place away from direct sunlight or bright artificial light especially UV rays. Light exposure can lead to oxidation and degrade flavor over time.
- Sealing: Ensure the bottle is tightly sealed. For cork-stoppered bottles storing upright helps avoid spirit contact with the cork which can cause degradation. Once opened reseal immediately after pouring to limit oxygen exposure that can erode subtle aromas.
- Bottle position: Always store grappa bottles upright to prevent damage to corks and maintain seal integrity. Unlike wine the spirit’s higher alcohol content makes cork drying less of a concern but upright storage is still best.
- Humidity: Maintain moderate humidity levels around 60-70% to protect corks from drying out (if corked). Excess humidity can cause mold or label damage but too dry conditions risk oxidation by compromising the cork seal.
- Additional tips for unopened vs. opened bottles:
- Unopened: Keep in stable conditions outlined above; avoid temperature fluctuations and vibrations.
- Opened: Reseal promptly and store upright in a cool dark place. Use within months for best aroma preservation since clear spirits gradually lose subtle notes once exposed.
