TASTING: The exceptional nature of this grappa has its basis in the vineyards from which it comes. The myth of Rabajà is not only natural. Those who cultivate it have developed a meticulous and maniacal attention to quality, conducting an environmentally friendly and sustainable agriculture. Rabajà is rightly 'the garden' of Barbaresco, a coveted place among winegrowers, where man and landscape have achieved a perfect balance of form and substance. This is the "spirit of the land" that Marolo is constantly searching for: the invisible signs that the terroir patiently chisels into the raw material and that the art of distillation - daughter of alchemy - pursues with artisanal patience, crush after crush, drop by drop. Our Grappa di Barbaresco Rabajà is the result of a double expertise: that of the vine-dressers, who knew how to enhance the 2006 vintage, and the skill of the grappa-maker, whose duty is not to betray that uniqueness. Picked very fresh, the marc receives the most scrupulous attention: a very slow and completely manual bain-marie distillation, aimed at releasing the strength and persuasiveness of the aromas. Ageing, designed to preserve the characteristics given by the terroir of origin, gives a grappa with a very high organoleptic profile. Soft and velvety body, ethereal and enveloping alcohol, warm in the mouth and fine on the nose, with immediate sensations of freshness and fruity notes.
