Description
What kind of spirit is this?
Bassano Classica by Poli is a young Italian grappa that offers a precise and structured sensory profile. This crystal-clear spirit presents a dry, balanced style with a crisp finish. The aromatic expression is distinctly floral and fruity, revealing elegant notes of hydrangea and green apple, perfectly matched by a harmonious palate. It achieves its pristine clarity through artisanal small-batch distillation in a discontinuous copper still, a technique designed to faithfully capture the primary aromas of the grape marc.
Where does it come from?
This spirit originates in the Veneto region, maintaining a deep connection to the Bassano del Grappa area and the Breganze hills. By exclusively utilising local grape marc, it reflects an established heritage centred on the careful selection of raw ingredients. The fresh floral character perfectly represents a style focused on the immediate expression of the grape. It is deeply tied to regional customs, especially the traditional rasentin practice of finishing a warm espresso. Its history also evokes the liquid courage that once comforted soldiers on the front lines.
How is it produced?
Production begins with carefully selected grape marc, processed through a discontinuous copper still with steam boilers. Poli utilises flowing steam to manage extraction during distillation, ensuring the spirit remains focused on its primary fruit and floral characteristics. As a young grappa with no extended ageing, it retains a transparent appearance and an authentic flavour profile. To fully appreciate its crisp nature, it is best served cool in a tulip-shaped glass, either enjoyed neat or as a regional accompaniment to coffee.
