Description
What kind of spirit is this?
Poli Elisir Prugna by Distillerie Poli is an Italian fruit liqueur from the Veneto region, offering a sweet, smooth and warming style. This inviting spirit is based on refined Grappa, expertly blended with a natural infusion of fresh plum juice. The bouquet delivers a clean, intense profile of ripe plums, dried fruit and toasted almond, complemented by fragrant amaretto notes and a delicate touch of vanilla. On the palate, caramelised plum flavours harmonise with a pleasant amaretto character, leading to a persistent and gently spiced finish.
Where it comes from
Sourced from Schiavon in the Veneto region, this spirit reflects the deep distilling heritage of Poli, active since 1898. The local identity is strongly connected to spirits crafted from grape distillates and fresh fruit. Poli Elisir Prugna represents a Venetian speciality inspired by the classic Slivovitz style of Eastern Europe. By uniting a refined Grappa base with a clear plum profile, it achieves a highly recognisable balance. The result is an engaging digestif-style liqueur that bridges ripe fruit aromas with a warm alcoholic structure.
How it is produced
Poli Elisir Prugna is crafted through a natural infusion of fresh plum juice in alcohol, with sugar added to round the texture and balance the sweetness. This method focuses entirely on extracting aromatic compounds to maintain an intense fruit profile alongside the Grappa base. Served neat or lightly chilled, it excels as an after-dinner drink, a classic coffee correction, or an elegant cocktail ingredient. For food pairings, its rich profile beautifully complements aged cheeses, dark chocolate and desserts such as panna cotta.
