Jacopo Poli Sarpa di Poli Grappa di Merlot e Cabernet (70cl)

A grappa made from Merlot and Cabernet pomace grown between Bassano del Grappa and the hills of Marostica and Breganze. In the Veneto dialect, sarpa means pomace, the raw material of grappa. The pomace comes from grape varieties with floral, delicately herbaceous aromas and is steam-distilled in a discontinuous cycle in small copper stills. It is straightforward, simple, authentic and natural, without the pungent, aggressive or oily character of older-style grappas. It is clear, colourless and bright. The nose is pleasantly herbaceous, with freshly cut grass, mint, rose, geranium and violet alongside a vinous aroma. The palate is characterful and robust.
