SKU / MPN: IT-POLI-GRANBASSANO-BIANCO-750ML

Appearance: Presents a beautiful pale straw yellow hue, extremely bright, clean, and with subtle greenish glints that evoke absolute freshness.

Nose: Intensely aromatic, floral, and fruity olfactory impact. It unfolds delicate notes of white flowers such as elderflower and hawthorn, complemented by intense citrus bursts of grapefruit, green orange, fresh ginger, and fine field herbs like thyme.

Palate: Smooth, unctuous, and pleasantly sweet entry. The sweetness is immediately lightened by a supremely lively and crisp citrus acidity provided by the Vespaiolo grape, preventing it from being cloying. The finish is clean, prolonged, leaving a persistent and hypnotic aromatic and balsamic memory.

Precise Gourmet Pairing: Its sweet, floral, and nobly citrusy character makes Gran Bassano Bianco the soul of modern aperitifs and fine mixology (like a Vesper Martini or a Vermouth Tonic). It harmonizes celestially with seafood snacks such as white fish carpaccio, fresh oysters, sushi, or fried calamari. It is magnificent with soft goat cheeses, Mediterranean salads, and salted nuts like almonds or cashews.

Suggested Moments:

• Summer: The great protagonist of the warm season. Served very cold with an ice cube and a grapefruit twist on a terrace, by the pool, or in a garden on a summer afternoon, it is the perfect definition of freshness.
• Romantic Dinner: Its subtle floral perfume, elegant sweetness, and refined color add a note of sensual sophistication ideal for whetting the appetite at the beginning of an evening for two.
• The Perfect Gift: With its classic and sophisticated design label and the prestige of the Poli house, it represents a cheerful and tasteful gift for lovers of author wines and European aperitif culture.

What is the specific origin and winery of this distillate?

This distinguished collectible white vermouth is artisanally produced by Poli Distillerie. Its specific origin is strictly located in Bassano del Grappa, in the Veneto region of Italy.

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

Gran Bassano Bianco Vermouth is a sweet fortified wine. It follows the great heritage of traditional Italian white vermouths, where the lusciousness of sugar is elegantly balanced with citrus acidity and bitter botanicals.

What does the use of Vespaiolo grape as the base of this vermouth contribute?

It provides an uncommon fruity freshness. The Vespaiolo grape has a very high natural acidity that acts as the backbone of the vermouth, preventing the sweetness from overwhelming the palate and enhancing the citrus notes of the infusion.

How should it be stored once opened?

Being a fortified wine (18% Vol.), it keeps much better than a common table wine. However, to preserve its fine essential oils and white flower notes intact, it should be kept well-sealed in the refrigerator and consumed preferably within 2 to 3 months.
