Grape varieties
Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc
Notes
As majestic as the cypress avenue of Bolgheri in Tuscany. Grappa, patiently matured in the underground cellars of the Poli distillery, is steam distilled. Its aroma is reminiscent of a basket of roasted hazelnuts, peanuts and dark chocolate.
Vinification
Artisanal distillation, with steam flow; matured in oak barrels in which the Sassicaia was previously aged.
Producer
POLI JACOPO
The Poli distillery was founded in 1898 and is now run as a family business by siblings Barbara, Andrea, Giampaolo and Jacopo. The distillation is traditionally discontinuous, which produces the best quality. However, the raw materials are of different nature, depending on the final product. Thus, for the classic grappa production, the marc goes to the distillation and for the "Chiara" line, the whole berries with skin and pulp. Worth seeing is also the Grappa Museum, which is attached to the distillery and can be visited daily.
