POLI DISTILLERIE
CLEOPATRA ORO DI POLI GRAPPA
SCHIAVON • VENETO • PREMIUM VACUUM DISTILLATION
"The perfect alchemy between innovation and seduction. A strictly dry aromatic grappa, vacuum distilled and dressed in gold, fascinating with its silky finesse and an imperial aromatic bouquet."
Crysopea Innovation, Moscato Pomace and the Aristocracy of Italian Flavor
The Grappa Poli Grappa Cleopatra Liqueur from Italy (globally known as Cleopatra Oro di Poli) represents the pinnacle of oenological avant-garde and luxury distillation. Designed with scientific and artisanal precision by the legendary Poli Distillerie, this super-premium elixir has its specific origin in Schiavon, in the geographical heart of Veneto, Italy. It is unequivocally classified as a strictly dry distillate, born from the sumptuous and perfumed pomace of Moscato Oro (Fior d'Arancio) grapes. Its soul is shaped by *Crysopea*, a unique vacuum bain-marie still developed in collaboration with the Research Center of the San Michele all'Adige Institute. This avant-garde process extracts aromas at minimum temperatures, achieving a sublime floral purity that subsequently matures in French oak barrels to impart unsurpassed smoothness.

Is this liqueur dry, semi-dry, or sweet?
