About this product
The Pinnacle of Aged Italian Grappa.
Marolo’s Grappa di Barolo 20 Years represents the absolute peak of their ageing mastery — a spirit shaped by two decades of patience, dedication, and devotion to the Nebbiolo grape. This is grappa elevated to art. Born from the noble pomace of Barolo vineyards and distilled with Marolo’s gentle bain-marie method, it then rests for twenty full years in carefully selected small oak barrels. Time works slowly, transforming intensity into grace and complexity into harmony.
The result is nothing short of extraordinary: a deep, shimmering amber colour and an aromatic profile that unfolds like a grand Barolo itself — layers of dried fruit, candied orange, polished oak, pipe tobacco, sweet spices, and the unmistakable floral signature of Nebbiolo. On the palate, it is rich and enveloping, with buttery softness, warming spice, and flavours that linger long after each sip.
For spirit lovers in Ireland who appreciate craftsmanship on a world-class level, this 20-year expression is a true marvel. It stands shoulder to shoulder with the finest long-aged distillates and delivers a tasting experience reserved for the most exceptional bottles.
Why we love it:
We love Grappa di Barolo 20Y for its majestic balance of power and elegance. Twenty years in oak have created a spirit with astonishing depth — figs, raisins, dark honey, cedarwood, cacao, and gentle spice — all woven into a seamless, velvety whole. It’s a contemplative, luxurious digestif meant for the quiet moments that deserve something extraordinary.

Tasting notes
Colour
Deep amber with copper-gold reflections.
Nose
Intensely aromatic with notes of dried apricot, candied citrus peel, vanilla, caramel, toasted almonds, leather, and fragrant Barolo florals.
Palate
Opulent and silky. Waves of dried fruits, roasted nuts, sweet spice, honeyed oak, and cocoa move across the palate, followed by a long, warming, endlessly layered finish.
Serving suggestion
Serve neat in a tulip-shaped glass, allowing a few minutes for the aromas to unfold — this grappa rewards patience. It pairs beautifully with dark chocolate truffles, long-aged cheeses (especially Parmigiano Reggiano or Castelmagno), or a slow-sipped espresso. A wonderful after-dinner companion, best enjoyed when the pace of the evening slows and appreciation takes centre stage.
