Marolo Barolo 14Y -Mizunara- (2010-2025) 11Y Marsala & 3Y Mizunara 48.0 "OB"

Grappa di Barolo 2010 “Mizunara” is an exceptional bottling from Marolo, crafted from Nebbiolo grapes of the outstanding 2010 vintage. After 11 years of maturation in European oak casks—mostly former Marsala barrels—it spent an additional 3 years in rare Japanese Mizunara oak. This unique combination of wood types gives the grappa its distinctive character: fruity and spicy notes from the European oak are refined by the aromatic qualities of Mizunara, with hints of sandalwood, incense, coconut, and exotic spices.

The result is a deep amber-coloured, rich and warm grappa. Each bottle is individually numbered and features a special label by the Japanese artist Hakuyu Watanabe - a visual representation of the fusion between European tradition and Japanese refinement.

Nose: Broad and evolving. The fruity and spicy notes of European oak are enriched by the unmistakable signature of Mizunara: incense, sandalwood, sweet spices, and exotic resins. Elegant hints of coconut and tropical nuances emerge.

Palate: Full and warm, with a complex yet precise aromatic structure.

Finish: Long and lingering, with a sustained balsamic lift and subtle echoes of dried fruit and citrus peel.
