LIQUEURS

Poli

Veneto, Italy (LLS) Since 1898, the Poli family has been operating their artisanal grappa distillery located near Bassano del Grappa, in the heart of the Veneto. Today, fourth-generation Jacopo Poli has elevated grappa production to an art form. Selecting only the freshest grape pomace from some of the best winemakers in Italy, he uses a traditional copper pot still, in operation for more than a century!

LIQUEURS VERMOUTH AMARO • BITTERS ABSINTHE

Poli, Miele Honey Honey, mixed with water and left to ferment, gave rise to the oldest alcoholic beverage produced by man. In ancient times, this digestive was used to enliven ancient wedding banquets that lasted an entire lunar cycle: hence the term honeymoon, still in use today.

Continuing the tradition, Poli’s Miele is a liqueur made with grappa and acacia honey, with essential oils of mug pine, juniper, mint and sweet-scented verbena which offers delightful balsamic sensations. On the palate, it is sweet with secondary notes of balsam, juniper and mint; overall delightful and rich. Poli, Mirtillo Blueberry This delightful grappa-based liqueur is flavored with blueberries and made from pomace sourced from a mixture of DOC grapes grown in the Vicenza province of the Veneto region. Poli Mirtillo is medium ruby-purple in color with lovely aromas of red fruit, blueberries and Lily of the Valley. On the palate it is well-rounded, balanced and flavorful.
