The essence of the grappa lies in \u003cstrong\u003efresh pomace\u003c\/strong\u003e derived from Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara grapes—the classic varieties used to create Amarone. Processing these grape skins while they remain rich in must ensures exceptional aromatic clarity and a pronounced fruity character. This careful selection creates an authentic spirit that reflects its terroir, offering a balanced palate with defined notes of mature red fruit and \u003cstrong\u003edried fruit\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduction process\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction follows an artisanal, discontinuous method using the \u003cstrong\u003eCrysopea vacuum bain-marie still\u003c\/strong\u003e. Distilling at a low temperature prevents thermal stress on the raw materials, successfully retaining the most delicate primary aromas. The grappa then undergoes \u003cstrong\u003e12 months of maturation\u003c\/strong\u003e in small French oak barrels. This period of wood ageing softens the mouthfeel and integrates sweet spice notes of vanilla and cocoa, alongside nuances of lightly \u003cstrong\u003etoasted wood\u003c\/strong\u003e. The resulting spirit achieves a harmonious balance between its fruity core and a gentle oak influence.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEstablished in 1898, Poli Distillerie dedicated this range to the alchemist Cleopatra, the inventor of the first still.
