Description
What kind of spirit is this?
Poli Grappa Sassicaia is a powerful grappa crafted in Veneto by Poli from the marc of the renowned Sassicaia, using flowing steam distillation in copper pot stills. Bottled at 40% ABV, it offers a clean, linear structure with an alluring aromatic profile. The palate is dry and warming, defined by clear notes of toasted hazelnuts, peanuts, and dark chocolate. It concludes with an enveloping, persistent finish, making it an exceptional after-dinner digestif.
Where it comes from
Produced in the historic Veneto region of northern Italy, this spirit showcases the expertise of Poli, a distillery operating since 1898. By selecting high-quality marc from a distinguished Italian wine origin, the distillery combines regional craftsmanship with exceptional raw materials. This meticulous approach is essential to achieving its precise sensory profile. Furthermore, the spirit matures in the estate’s underground cellars, allowing its warm flavour characteristics to integrate steadily over time.
How it is produced
The production process relies on a meticulous flowing steam distillation method, ensuring the careful extraction of essential aromas. Using artisanal copper pot stills with small boilers, the master distiller separates the fractions to maintain a sharp, uncompromised olfactory profile. After distillation, the spirit is transferred to the quiet cellars to rest, allowing complex notes of peanuts and dark chocolate to harmonise fully. This patient maturation ensures a balanced, linear palate and a deeply enveloping finish.
