Description
What kind of spirit is this?

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.

Taking its name from the Vicentine word for grape marc, this young spirit captures the pure essence of the Veneto region.
