Grappa di Barolo is a high-quality, region-specific Italian grappa produced exclusively from the pomace (vinaccia) of Nebbiolo grapes used in the winemaking process for Barolo DOCG. As a protected product under the Indicazione Geografica system, its production is strictly regulated to preserve its unique character and heritage.
The grappa is obtained by distilling the fermented grape pomace—using steam distillation or with the controlled addition of water in the still—and may include small amounts of naturally fermented wine lees (fecce liquide) from Barolo DOCG production, within regulated limits.
It is produced entirely within the Piedmont region, and its production, presentation, and labeling are governed by both Italian national regulations and European legislation. Grappa di Barolo IG can be aged in wooden containers, with designations such as “Vecchia” or "Invecchiata" indicating a minimum of 12 months of aging and “Riserva” or "Stravecchia" denoting an aging period of at least 18 months.
