About this product
A Masterpiece of Time, Oak & Nebbiolo.
Marolo’s Grappa di Barolo 15 Years stands at the summit of their aged collection — a grappa that has moved far beyond youthful fire and into the realm of deep, contemplative elegance. Crafted from select Nebbiolo pomace destined for Barolo, this spirit is patiently matured for fifteen full years in small oak barrels, allowing time, wood, and grape heritage to weave together in extraordinary harmony.
The result is a grappa that feels almost regal: rich amber in colour, layered with notes of dried fruits, polished wood, spices, cocoa, and the unmistakable floral lift of Nebbiolo. Every sip is slow and enveloping, delivering warmth and complexity that build gradually on the palate. It’s a spirit that rewards patience — the kind of bottle opened for moments worth remembering.
For lovers of Italian craftsmanship in Ireland, this 15-year expression is a remarkable journey into what grappa can become when treated with the same care and ageing philosophy as fine whisky or brandy. It is refined, powerful, aromatic, and truly one of the standout distillates of Piedmont.
Why we love it:
We love the Grappa di Barolo 15Y for its breathtaking depth. Fifteen years in oak have shaped Nebbiolo’s intensity into something smooth, luxurious, and endlessly layered. Expect dried figs, caramelised nuts, rose petal, spice, and gentle vanilla — a digestif that feels both comforting and profoundly sophisticated. A perfect after-dinner treasure for enthusiasts in Ireland who enjoy spirits with real character and heritage.

Tasting notes
Colour
Deep amber with ruby-gold highlights.
Nose
Aromas of dried apricot, vanilla pod, antique wood, cocoa powder, tobacco leaf, and subtle Barolo florals.
Palate
Rich, velvety, and warming. Notes of dried fruits, toasted almonds, sweet spices, and caramel unfold slowly, leading into a long, elegant finish with hints of oak, cocoa, and Nebbiolo’s signature rose-like delicacy.
Serving suggestion
Serve neat in a tulip glass to allow its deep aromatics to fully bloom. Ideal as an after-dinner indulgence, paired with dark chocolate, aged cheeses, roasted nuts, or a strong espresso. This grappa also shines as a meditative sipper on its own, especially when savoured slowly to appreciate its long maturation.
