About this product
Aromatic Depth & Oak Elegance.
Marolo’s Grappa di Moscato “Après” is part of their Le Invecchiate collection, bringing a sophisticated twist to the fragrant Moscato grape. Unlike the fresh Moscato grappa, this version is aged for 5 years in small oak barrels that previously held Moscato di Pantelleria wines. The result is a rich amber spirit with enhanced complexity — floral, warm, and deeply aromatic.
This grappa opens a new chapter on Moscato’s aromatic charm. The long ageing adds layers of vanilla, toasted spice, and nutty undertones, while retaining Moscato’s signature perfume — orange blossom, apricot, and delicate honeyed notes. It’s a grappa that feels both refined and enveloping, perfect for someone in Ireland looking for a beautifully aged, aromatic digestif.
Whether savoured slowly after dinner or enjoyed in a contemplative moment, Marolo’s Moscato “Après” combines delicate floral character with the timeless richness that comes from careful barrel maturation.
Why we love it:
We love “Après” because it transforms Moscato’s bright floral character into something warm, rich, and layered. The five years in Sicilian oak barrels bring incredible depth — with notes of vanilla, candied citrus, and toasted almonds — while preserving the grape’s inherent elegance. It’s a beautifully aged grappa that offers both comfort and sophistication, and appeals particularly to grappa aficionados in Ireland who appreciate aromatics and terroir-driven craft.

Tasting notes
Colour
Deep amber, glowing with age.
Nose
Rich floral perfume, orange blossom, dried apricot, mellow vanilla, and soft spice.
Palate
Full and enveloping with sweet almond, candied citrus, honeyed fruit, and a gentle oak warmth. The finish is long, mellow, and elegantly balanced.
Serving suggestion
Marolo Moscato “Après” is a grappa made to be savoured slowly. Serve it at room temperature in a tulip or snifter glass so its aromatics can fully unfold. It pairs beautifully with rich desserts — think almond pastry, saffron panna cotta, or dried fruit compote — as well as a mellow espresso for a luxurious finish. For a refined twist, it also works wonderfully in signature digestif cocktails.

About the producer
Founded in Alba in 1977, Marolo has been transforming local pomace into some of Italy’s most elegant grappas. Their approach — combining single-varietal distillation, long ageing, and utmost respect for tradition — has made them a benchmark in craftsmanship. Moscato “Après” is a prime example: where delicate floral notes meet the richness of wood, forming a spirit that feels both timeless and profoundly expressive.
