From 1967 to 1977, Paolo Marolo taught at the famous oenologist school in Alba. In 1977, he opened his own Grappa Distillery in the same Alba, in the middle of the Barolo region in Piedmont. He was ahead of time, because he already made small batches of Grappa in small au bain marie boilers. The Barbera grape is a blue grape, mainly grown in Piedmont. The wine can be deep and powerful. The Grappa is also powerful with lots of red fruit and even something similar to beeswax. The more powerful the grape, the stronger the Grappa.
