About this product
The Elegance of Piedmont, Distilled.
For more than fifty years, the Marolo distillery in Alba has been shaping the future of Italian grappa, taking this once-rustic spirit and elevating it into something graceful, expressive, and unmistakably Piedmontese. Their Grappa di Arneis is a perfect example of that philosophy — a spirit born from the fragrant Arneis grapes of the Roero hills, distilled with care, tradition, and a reverence for the land.
The pomace arrives at Marolo perfectly fresh, still carrying the delicate aromas that define Arneis: soft pear, white blossom, and gentle herbal notes. Distilled slowly in bain-marie pot stills, the spirit preserves every nuance of the grape, resulting in a grappa that is clean, floral, and beautifully balanced. It’s refined without being fragile, expressive without becoming overwhelming — the kind of craftsmanship that resonates strongly with grappa lovers in Ireland, where authenticity and honest flavour have earned Marolo a quiet but devoted following.
This is a spirit made for lingering moments. Enjoy it after dinner, pair it with a square of dark chocolate, or sip it slowly as a contemplative treat. Every glass offers a small journey to the rolling vineyards of Piedmont, bringing a touch of Italian character to your home in Ireland.
Why we love it:
Marolo’s Grappa di Arneis is incredibly refined — fragrant, silky, and beautifully balanced. It showcases the floral and fruity heart of the Arneis grape while offering the smooth, polished texture that Marolo is famous for. A wonderful introduction to high-quality Italian grappa.

Serving suggestion
Marolo Grappa di Arneis shines when enjoyed slowly, allowing its delicate floral aromas to unfold gently in the glass. Serve it at room temperature after a meal to experience its full elegance, or lightly chilled for a softer, more refreshing expression. It pairs beautifully with artisanal dark chocolate, almond biscotti, or a simple plate of ripe pears — flavours that highlight the natural character of the Arneis grape. For a refined Italian twist at home in Ireland, try it alongside a creamy dessert or a quiet evening espresso.
