Winery
The Montanaro distillery found its precursor in Francesco Trussoni, master of Alchemy at Gallo d'Alba. Already in 1885, he had the brilliant intuition to create Grappa di Barolo, the first single-variety grappa in history. In 1922 the winery passed under the guidance of Mario Montanaro and his wife Angela Trussoni who were, with their son Giuseppe, the perfectionists of a discontinuous distillation system powered by steam, unique at that time.
At the end of 2000, Mr. Giuseppe Montanaro, now almost 80 years old, in the absence of direct heirs, decided to sell the Montanaro distillery to a group of entrepreneurs from Alba. Today, thanks to the experience of its collaborators, the Montanaro distillery seeks to position itself among the top players in the distillation world, with products that meet the increasingly sophisticated needs of the market.
Description
Grappa Di Barolo Millesimata 2005 from the Montanaro distillery was made from the best pomace of Nebbiolo da Barolo grapes. This is a very intense and persistent grappa, complex with light fruity notes and more intense spicy notes typical of long aging. The product is sold in a wooden box that makes this distillate perfect as a gift idea.
