Description
What kind of spirit is this?
Grappa Cleopatra Moscato Oro by Poli Distillerie is an Italian spirit crafted from freshly pressed Moscato Bianco pomace sourced from the Colli Euganei. It undergoes a specialised vacuum bain-marie distillation to capture the grape’s primary aromas. Maturation in wood grants the liquid a warm amber colour and a highly structured, smooth profile. The tasting experience opens with distinct exotic fruit notes, notably pineapple, mandarin, and mango, complemented by subtle floral nuances and a delicate spicy undertone from the oak ageing that ensures a balanced palate and a clean, persistent finish.
Geographical origin
The origins of this spirit lie in the Veneto region of Italy, deeply rooted within the specific terroir of the Colli Euganei. The defining characteristic here is the immediate processing of the Moscato Bianco pomace upon arrival. This prompt approach maintains the aromatic integrity of the raw material. Such precise methods yield a highly defined bouquet, releasing delicate scents of blossom and vibrant citrus. The regional identity is captured in every sip, allowing the natural perfume-like qualities of the grape to shine alongside a distinct fruit-led aromatic profile.
Production method
The creation of Poli Grappa Cleopatra Moscato Oro relies on a discontinuous method utilising the Crysopea alembic still. This technique isolates only the purest heart of the distillate, ensuring maximum aromatic clarity. The spirit rests in underground cellars, undergoing prolonged ageing in oak barrels before a brief maturation in barriques to harmonise its texture. With an alcohol volume of 40%, it is best enjoyed as an elegant digestif. Serving it at a temperature of 18–20 °C in a tulip glass perfectly enhances its complex interplay of bright fruit, floral scents, and gentle spice.
History and Heritage

It is distilled using the Crysopea still, which is modelled on an ancient alchemical water-bath alembic attributed to Cleopatra herself, a tool historically used for the creation of gold.
