Poli Mirtillo An unprecedented blueberry-flavored grappa. The blueberry has been used since antiquity by people from Northern Europe to obtain a coloring substance for dying fabrics. More recently, it has been shown that the blueberry has considerable regenerative properties for your eyesight. Poli would also like to be able to attribute the same virtues to its blueberry-infused grappa; however, if consumed in excess it will temporarily weaken the eyesight instead of improving it! This grappa-based liqueur is fruity, round, and sweet, with aromas of blueberry and lily.

Cleopatra Moscato Oro A smooth, clean and refined grappa named for one of the most intriguing women of all time. Cleopatra was credited as the creator of the first still with a goal of distilling gold by the name of Crysopea. Inspired by the alchemy behind it all, Poli resurrected an antique bain-marie vacuum still, or double boiler, dubbing it Crysopea—a still that preserves the delicate fruit and floral fragrances of this grappa. Made from the distilled marc of 100% White Muscat grapes, Cleopatra Moscato Oro is teeming with aromas of fresh fruit, citrus and honey.

Grape Brandies

Jacopo Poli Moscato A grape brandy made from Moscato Bianco (White Muscat) grapes sourced from the volcanic soils of the Euganei hills in the Veneto region. Brought to Italy by the Greeks, Moscato was known in antiquity by the name of Alpicio, as the api (bees) were very attracted to it. This is a very aromatic grape brandy with an intense bouquet of flowers and herbs. In the mouth, it is sweet and round with a touch of citrus fruit.

UvaViva di Poli UvaViva is a grape brandy made from 60% White Malvasia and 40% White Moscato sourced from the Euganei hills in the Veneto Region. UvaViva is made by distilling the whole grape and is therefore extremely rich and aromatic, offering fruity aromas of apricot, pear, and orange blossom. Fresh and delicate in the mouth, UvaViva is a delicious way to end dinner.
