  Diciotto Lune Botte Porto Grappa 50 cl 42%

  Item no.: 505956-498796-455-1

  The same eighteen-month grappa from Trentino, but with a different ending: a rest in casks that once matured Port wine gives this edition a sweeter, fruit-driven character.

  Expert description

  Diciotto Lune Riserva Botte Porto is an Italian Grappa from Trentino, finished in former Port wine casks and bottled at 42% ABV.

  The grappa comes from Distilleria Marzadro, a family-run distillery in Nogaredo, Trentino, founded in 1949 by siblings Sabina and Attilio Marzadro. The base spirit is made from fresh pomace of marzemino, teroldego, merlot, moscato and chardonnay, distilled in a water bath and rested for 18 months in small casks of cherry, ash, oak and locust wood - the maturation that gives the range its name, Le Diciotto Lune, eighteen moons.

  For the Botte Porto edition, a selected batch is transferred to casks that previously aged Port wine. The extra time in these casks draws sweetness and fruit character from the old wood and leaves the grappa with a trace of dried fruit and spice that the unfinished base grappa doesn't have.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  The nose offers ripe cherries and dried fruit, sweetly spiced with cinnamon and a touch of vanilla from the Port casks.

  Palate

  The palate is soft and harmonious, with fruity sweetness and a round, full structure, where the character of the Port casks sits like a warm layer beneath the grape spirit.

  Finish

  The finish is soft and lingering, with a last hint of dried figs and herbs.

  Diciotto Lune Botte Whisky Grappa 50 cl 42%

  Item no.: 505956-498796-454-9

  Eighteen moons give this Trentino grappa its name, but the Botte Whisky edition doesn't stop there. A further rest in used Scottish whisky casks lays a trace of peat and smoke over the soft fruit at its core.

  Expert description

  Diciotto Lune Riserva Botte Whisky is an Italian Grappa from Trentino, finished in former whisky casks and bottled at 42% ABV.

  The bottle comes from Distilleria Marzadro, a family-run distillery in Nogaredo, Trentino, founded in 1949 by siblings Sabina and Attilio Marzadro. The base grappa is distilled from fresh pomace of five local grape varieties - marzemino, teroldego, merlot, moscato and chardonnay - using a water-bath still, then aged for 18 months in small casks of cherry, ash, oak and locust wood. That maturation period gave the range its name: eighteen moons, Le Diciotto Lune.

  For the Botte Whisky edition, a selected batch of the grappa is moved into casks that previously held Scottish whisky, both peated and unpeated. The additional ageing sharpens the contrast between the soft grape distillate and the stronger wood, leaving a light smoky undertone that the classic Diciotto Lune doesn't have.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  The nose is broad with a light smokiness, built around ripe stone fruit and a touch of warm spice from the wood.

  Palate

  The palate is round and full, where the grape's sweetness meets a dry, faintly smoky undertone from the whisky casks, carried by vanilla and a hint of honey.

  Finish

  The finish is long and dry, with a lingering smoky note that slowly gives way to delicate fruit.

  Marzadro Grappa Giare Gewürztraminer 70 cl 41%

  Item no.: 222278622254-886

  In the hills of Trentino, where the Gewürztraminer grape develops its spiced aroma, the Marzadro family still works the same copper stills they have used for three generations. This grappa is distilled from that very grape, in small batches and with patience.

  Expert description

  Marzadro Grappa Giare Gewürztraminer is an Italian Grappa at 41% ABV, distilled from the pomace of Gewürztraminer grapes and bottled by the family-run Marzadro distillery in Nogaredo, Trentino.

  Marzadro was founded in 1949 by siblings Sabina and Attilio Marzadro and is today run by the third generation of the family. The Giare range consists of single-varietal grappas distilled in a bain-marie using a discontinuous copper alembic and then aged for at least 36 months in small oak barrels, giving them a notably round character compared with Marzadro's younger, unaged grappas.

  The name 'Giare' means jars in Italian and refers to the range as a whole rather than the cask type - the grappa is aged in oak, not in clay jars, while Marzadro has a separate range called 'Anfora' that is genuinely matured in terracotta jars. Giare Gewürztraminer has won awards at the International Wine & Spirit Competition.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  The nose is intense and floral, with honeysuckle and a hint of vanilla from the cask ageing, characteristic of the Gewürztraminer grape's aromatic style.

  Palate

  The palate is soft and gently sweet, with a delicate balance between the grape's spiced aroma and a warm, lightly vanilla-toned finish from the oak.

  Finish

  The finish is harmonious and medium in length, with a lingering floral sweetness.

  Marzadro Le Dic Otto Lune Grappa Stravecchia 50 cl 41%

  Item no.: 22227865479-1106-19727942

  Eighteen full moons pass before Marzadro's signature grappa leaves its barrels. The name 'Dic'Otto Lune' - the eighteen moons - is a poetic way of measuring time in a distillery where patience is part of the recipe.

  Expert description

  Marzadro Le Dic Otto Lune Grappa Stravecchia is an Italian Grappa at 41% ABV, distilled and bottled by the family-run Marzadro distillery in Nogaredo, Trentino.

  'Dic'Otto Lune' means 'eighteen moons' and refers to the at least 18 months of ageing the grappa undergoes, while 'Stravecchia' is the Italian term for an extra-long maturation. The range was developed by Marzadro in 1999 as one of the distillery's first attempts at ageing a grappa in four different types of wood at once - oak, acacia, ash and cherry - to achieve a more complex expression than a single cask type can provide.

  Marzadro was founded in 1949 by siblings Sabina and Attilio Marzadro and is today run by the third generation of the family from the distillery's current home in Nogaredo. The grappa is distilled from a blend of pomace from several grape varieties, including Marzemino, Teroldego, Merlot, Moscato and Chardonnay, giving it a broader aromatic spectrum than a single-varietal grappa.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  The nose offers roasted nuts and ripe cherries, spiced with a hint of vanilla and a subtle, earthy undercurrent of forest floor.

  Palate

  The palate is soft and harmonious with a warm, gently spiced sweetness, where the different woods combine into a layered, round expression.

  Finish

  The finish is long and lightly nutty, with a lingering, almost nougat-like sweetness.
