Named after the hill of San Bastian near Alba, this grappa pays homage to the landscapes that shaped it: ancient vineyards, morning mist rising over the Langhe, and the timeless craft traditions that define Piedmont’s most prestigious wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"842\" data-end=\"1366\"\u003eFresh Nebbiolo pomace from acclaimed Barolo producers is delivered directly to Marolo, where it is distilled slowly using their gentle bain-marie method. This respectful approach protects the grape’s delicate aromatics and tannic structure. The spirit then rests in small oak barrels, gaining notes of vanilla, dried rose, spice, toasted almond, and a velvety softness that only careful ageing can bring. The result is a grappa that is powerful yet elegant — a reflection of Barolo’s nobility distilled into its purest form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1368\" data-end=\"1784\"\u003e\u003cem data-start=\"1368\" data-end=\"1381\"\u003eSan Bastian\u003c\/em\u003e has become a favourite among connoisseurs who appreciate complexity, tradition, and the soul of Nebbiolo. Its layered character resonates beautifully with grappa lovers in Ireland, where refined after-dinner spirits continue to grow in popularity. This is not a hurried drink; it’s a grappa for quiet moments, conversations that linger, and evenings when you want to savour something truly special.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"card-widget  card-widget--is-collapsible   card-widget--layout-compact   card-widget--is-accordion-item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv role=\"region\" class=\"toggle__content remove-empty-space\" data-js-content=\"\" id=\"toggle--collapsible_tab_7YETpz\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"card-widget__content  rte  remove-empty-space\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1118\" data-start=\"774\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2465\" data-end=\"2484\"\u003eWhy we love it:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2484\" data-end=\"2487\"\u003eWe love San Bastian for its balance of structure and softness — the way it marries Nebbiolo’s floral, tannic backbone with the round, warm influence of oak.
