What kind of spirit is this?

The bouquet is distinctly vinous, revealing notes of red grapes, woodland berries, geranium, rose, and violet, alongside a vibrant hint of freshly cut grass. This versatile spirit can be savoured neat to fully appreciate its character or used as an elegant base for refined cocktails.
Origin
This spirit originates in the Veneto region of Italy, where Poli carefully sources the Merlot and Cabernet marc. The name reflects its local roots, as sarpa translates to grape marc in the Vicentine dialect, referring to the skins and seeds. These grape varieties, successfully cultivated throughout the area, define a profile faithful to fruit-driven tones while retaining an overall robust nature. It is an expression of distillation rooted in authenticity and naturalness, delivering a straightforward character that captures the pure essence of its terroir.
Production
Sarpa di Poli is created through artisanal distillation in small batches, utilising a discontinuous copper still equipped with steam pots. This flowing-steam method is designed to capture the fragrant, fresh aromas of the raw materials. The careful processing of the grape marc yields a clear Grappa with an even structure and a smooth mouthfeel. Focusing on aromatic clarity, it offers vibrant floral nuances. To best appreciate its clean profile, it should be served neat at 10–15 °C in a tulip-shaped glass, though its balanced nature also performs brilliantly in mixed drinks.
History and Curiosities
Conceived in 1983 by Jacopo Poli, Sarpa di Poli elegantly bridges the past and future of Italian distillation. Taking its name from the Vicentine word for grape marc, this young spirit captures the pure essence of the Veneto region. It is masterfully crafted through artisanal copper distillation, processing small batches of Merlot and Cabernet marc in steam-heated stills. This meticulous approach ensures a robust and authentic profile, establishing the grappa as a timeless emblem of Distillerie Poli that beautifully honours its deep historical roots.
