Description
Che tipo di distillato è
Vaca Mora Amaro is an Italian bitter liqueur crafted in Veneto by Poli. This digestif combines a Grappa and neutral spirit base with a natural infusion of botanicals selected for their digestive properties. It features an intense balsamic profile that is both structured and warming. The aroma reveals spices and a subtle hint of mint, reminiscent of medicinal herbs. Bottled at 32% ABV, it offers a dry, smooth, and pleasantly bitter experience. It is ideally served at 12–14 °C in a tulip glass, providing a perfect conclusion to a meal alongside small pastries.
Da dove proviene
Vaca Mora Amaro originates from Schiavon, near Bassano del Grappa. Its identity is rooted in the Veneto tradition of offering aromatic infusions as a gesture of hospitality, reflecting the heritage of Poli since 1898. The name honours the historic steam train that passed by the Osteria al Cappello, where travellers would enjoy herbal beverages while waiting. This local history shapes a distinctive profile defined by officinal herbs, warming spices, and mint. The regional heritage is captured in this amber yellow liqueur, mirroring authentic local customs.
Come viene prodotto
Production focuses on the natural maceration of plants, herbs, and flowers in Grappa and neutral alcohol. This technique effectively extracts essential oils and bitter compounds to ensure a defined aromatic profile. The resulting amaro exhibits a strong herbaceous intensity and a clear medicinal character. On the palate, the spirit is warm with an ethereal texture, leading into a persistently bitter finish, while the nose maintains a spicy, minty freshness. This digestif is highly regarded, holding an 87/100 rating and a Top 50 award from Vini Buoni d’Italia.
History and Trivia
Named after the historic steam train that once passed by Schiavon’s Osteria al Cappello, Vaca Mora celebrates a late-19th-century tradition where waiting travellers would sip a local aromatic infusion. This authentic ritual inspired the founding of Distillerie Poli in 1898. Today, this award-winning digestif liqueur preserves that Veneto heritage, perfectly capturing the traditional hospitality of the countryside surrounding Bassano del Grappa.
