Poli Amorosa di Settembre Grappa di Vespaiolo

Poli Jacopo Poli Amorosa di Settembre Grappa di Vespaiolo is a rare, exquisitely aromatic, and highly refined single-varietal grappa produced by the historic Poli Distillerie in Schiavon, Veneto. Part of the distillery's highly esteemed "Amorosa" collection, this pristine unaged spirit is distilled exclusively from the fresh pomace of 100% Vespaiola grapes harvested in September within the Breganze DOC. Known for its high natural acidity and sugar density, the Vespaiola grape yields a pomace packed with vibrant fruit and floral precursors. Distilled immediately after pressing using the family’s traditional discontinuously operated copper bain-marie stills, this expression is prized for capturing the absolute purest essence of the autumn harvest with remarkable crispness and structural elegance.

Food Pairing: This bright, fruit-forward grappa is a brilliant companion to traditional Italian plum tarts, apple crostata, and almond-based pastries like cantucci or soft amaretti cookies. It also pairs spectacularly well with mild, semi-hard cheeses such as young Asiago, or alongside fresh fruit carpaccio featuring green apples and white peaches.

TASTING NOTES - Crystal clear with brilliant diamond-like transparency. The texture is medium-bodied, exceptionally clean, and coats the palate with a crisp, vibrant, and silky smoothness.

NOSE - Fresh, intense, and heavily perfumed, opening with a gorgeous basket of ripe autumn fruits, notably sweet green grapes, fresh pears, and white peach, beautifully accented by elegant notes of magnolia blossoms and wild honey.

PALATE - Crisply elegant and perfectly balanced. A clean, naturally sweet entry of fresh grape must and orchard fruits is immediately met mid-palate by a mouth-watering, lively acidity characteristic of the Vespaiola grape, supporting a delicate, clean grape-skin structure.

FINISH - Long, highly refreshing, and aromatic. The bright orchard fruit characteristics slowly fade, leaving a satisfyingly clean trail of white floral notes, crisp citrus oils, and a delicate, soft warmth.

SERVE - Best enjoyed neat at a cellar temperature of roughly 10-15°C (50-59°F) in a traditional tulip-shaped glass or a small spirits snifter, allowing it to breathe for a moment to fully unlock its crisp, seasonal aromatics.
