About this product
The Spirit of Roero in Its Purest Form.
Marolo’s Dedicata al Padre is the distillery’s flagship clear grappa, crafted from a blend of pomace sourced exclusively from the Roero region of Piedmont. This expression celebrates the unique character of the area’s native grapes, distilled with Marolo’s signature care to produce a spirit that is pure, powerful, and aromatic. At 60% ABV, it delivers intensity and presence, yet retains the elegance and finesse that have made Marolo a benchmark in Italian grappa.
Distilled gently in bain-marie pot stills, the grappa captures the fragrant essence of Roero’s grapes — notes of dried berries, fresh flowers, almonds, and subtle herbaceous undertones emerge naturally, without any oak influence. It’s a bold yet refined spirit, perfect for those who appreciate expressive, unadulterated Italian grappa. For enthusiasts in Ireland, it offers both a taste of tradition and the excitement of a high-proof, flavourful experience.
Whether enjoyed neat after a meal, paired with light desserts, or savoured as a contemplative evening digestif, Dedicata al Padre embodies Marolo’s commitment to craftsmanship, terroir, and family heritage — a true flagship spirit of the distillery.
Why we love it:
