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

Appearance: Presents a beautiful pale straw yellow tone, remarkably bright, clean, and with subtle greenish reflections that evoke absolute freshness.

Nose: Intensely aromatic, floral, and fruity olfactory impact. Displays 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 remarkably 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 aftertaste.

Precision Gourmet Pairing: Its sweet, floral, and nobly citrus physiognomy 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 alongside 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 the garden, 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 classically designed and sophisticated 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 collection white vermouth is artisanally produced by Poli Distillerie. Its specific origin is strictly located in Bassano del Grappa, in the Veneto region, 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 sumptuousness of sugar is elegantly balanced with citrus acidity and bitter botanicals.

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

It provides an unusual 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?

As it is a fortified wine (18% Vol.), it preserves much better than a common table wine. However, to keep its fine essential oils and white flower notes intact, it should be kept tightly closed in the refrigerator and consumed preferably within 2 to 3 months.
