Modern day pot stills are considered descendants of the alembic apparatus and it was Francesco who conceived of the idea to create Grappa di Barolo, the first single varietal Grappa in history. In 1922 the company was taken over by Mario Montanaro, his wife Angela Trussoni and their son Guiseppe. Together they perfected the art of producing the finest grape spirit by adopting steam distillation. At the end of 2000 Guiseppe, aged nearly 80 and without direct heirs, decided to sell the distillery to a group of 'Albese' businessmen. Under their stewardship Montanaro continues this exceptional tradition and retains the acknowledged reputation of producing the very highest quality regional products.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTASTING NOTES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wpb_wrapper\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRefined in oak barrels for 24-30 months to merge aroma and flavour this Grappa acquires smoothness, perfume, a velvety texture and flavour as well a beautiful pale straw colour.
