POLI DISTILLERIE
CLEOPATRA ORO DI POLI GRAPPA
SCHIAVON • VENETO • PREMIUM VACUUM DISTILLATION
"The perfect alchemy between innovation and seduction. A strictly dry, vacuum-distilled aromatic grappa, dressed in gold, that fascinates with its silky fineness and an imperial aromatic bouquet."
Crysopea Innovation, Moscato Pomace and the Aristocracy of Italian Flavor
The Grappa Poli Grappa Cleopatra Licor de Italia (globally recognized as Cleopatra Oro di Poli) represents the pinnacle of enological 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 firmly classified as a strictly dry distilled spirit, born from the sumptuous and fragrant 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 minimal 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?
