POLI DISTILLERIE
AMOROSA DI SETTEMBRE GRAPPA
SCHIAVON • VENETO • MONOVARIETAL COLLECTIBLE VESPAIOLO
"The bottled poetry of Italian autumn. A strictly dry monovarietal distillate, with a sublime floral purity that pays homage to the Vespaiolo grape harvested in September."
September Harvest, Bain-marie Still and the Elegance of Vespaiolo
The Grappa Poli Amorosa Di Settembre Liqueur from Italy is one of the most poetic and refined expressions in the world of high-end spirits. Created with absolute mastery by the legendary Poli Distillerie, this monovarietal spirit has its specific origin in Schiavon, in the Veneto region, Italy. It is unequivocally classified as a strictly dry distillate, obtained exclusively from the fresh pomace of the Vespaiolo grape, a native white variety highly prized by wasps (*vespe*) due to its high aromatic concentration during the September harvest. Its delicate character is achieved thanks to meticulous artisanal distillation in traditional copper pot stills operating in a bain-marie with a discontinuous cycle, preserving the intact fruity fragrance of the young fruit without the need for aging in wood.
