What is the specific origin and winery of this spirit?

This legendary piece is the fruit of a historic union: it is produced by the renowned Poli Distillerie in its specific stills in Schiavon, Veneto, meticulously processing the fresh pomace of noble red grapes from Tenuta San Guido in Bolgheri, Tuscany, Italy.

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

The Grappa Poli di Sassicaia is strictly dry. It contains no sweeteners or syrups; its wonderful smoothness on the palate and its rich notes of almonds, coffee, and vanilla come solely from the virtues of the Cabernet grapes and its four years of aging in barrels.

What does aging in Sassicaia barrels contribute?

It confers a majestic dimension and a highly complex physiognomy. By absorbing the essential notes remaining in the pores of the wood that housed the world's most famous Supertuscan wine, the distillate acquires aristocratic vinous nuances and unparalleled smoothness.

What is the best way to enjoy this Cru grappa?

It should be enjoyed at room temperature, between 16°C and 18°C. It is essential to serve it in a large tulip-shaped glass and allow it to rest for a few minutes before drinking so that its majestic aromatic layers are majestically released.
