This grappa is based on an old family recipe, used by Signora Lodovina, and perfected by her grandson, Paolo Marolo. It clearly exudes the fresh aroma of chamomile tea with honeyed sweetness. The recipe is both very simple and very difficult, because it takes a master to balance the ingredients of this unique liqueur, the original chamomile liqueur. It is based on grappa from Nebbiolo grapes in which the chamomile flowers are left to macerate for 11 months, with the addition of sugar.

Bruno Rocca Rabaja Barbaresco 2013
Good bright red. Subtle perfumed aromas of raspberry, white pepper, cinnamon and red rose. Suave, precise flavors of red cherry, raspberry and sweet spices show a juicy, elegant quality. Finishes extremely long and pure, filling the mouth with perfume. A real beauty with great aging potential: this has the charm and grace of the entry-level 2011 Barbaresco and the density and complexity of the Coparossa, but is much better than either one.

Conterno Fantino Barolo Sori Ginestra 2015
"You'll find broader strokes and more heft in the 2015 Barolo Ginestra Vigna Sorì Ginestra than in the other crus from Conterno Fantino, along with extra levels of power and dimension. This vintage boasts lots of fiber and intensity, with dark fruit contrasting against spice, tar and tobacco. The wine shows more structure at the back, too, one of the important differences that makes this wine well suited to longer cellar aging. This is simply a complete Barolo with gorgeous texture, so fine and detailed, and it will hold up for years to come." Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Paolo Scavino Barolo Cannubi 2014
Producers Notes:
Cannubi is probably the most historical vineyard of the all Barolo region, in Barolo village. We vinify this cru from 1985 and this is one of the two oldest vineyards of ours planted in 1946 on the central crest of Cannubi hill. Low yield of this vineyard is due to a special combination of natural factors one of which is the old age of the vines assuring a unique quality. Here it comes the concentration and richness of this Barolo where the charm of Nebbiolo is fully expressed. Harmonious and very fine texture.
Vineyard Notes:
Village: Barolo
Cru: Cannubi
Altitude, Exposure: 290 mt, south-south east
Soil: Marne di Sant’Agata fossili, limestone
Planting year: 1946
