Sarpa Oro is simply the perfect grappa; it has undergone a huge evolution: from a popular product to a symbol of Italian drinks in the world.
The name ‘Sarpa’ means ‘grape marc’ in the Veneto dialect. The drink is distilled in small batches from the pomace of ‘Merlot’ and ‘Cabernet Sauvignon’ grapes. The grapes are matured for 4 years in French oak barrels.
Pale golden colour. Aromas of wax, dried apple, apricot and brown sugar. In the mouth it is fruity and nutty, with cocoa, vanilla and honey.
Serve at 18-20 °C as a digestif.
Poli Distillerie – A Legacy of Italian Grappa Passion Since 1898
It all began in 1898, when straw hat maker GioBatta Poli, driven by a passion for grappa, built a small still and began visiting local winemakers to distill the leftover grape pomace after winemaking. What started as a modest hobby soon became a family tradition, carried on by his sons and now passionately upheld by his grandson, Jacopo Poli – one of Italy’s most renowned modern grappa producers.
Craftsmanship and an Unwavering Commitment to Quality
At the Poli distillery, located in the Veneto region, five core principles guide every aspect of production:
Only fresh, healthy raw material is used – delivered daily in quantities that can be processed immediately.
The pomace is distilled without delay – never stored.
Distillation is performed using traditional copper stills and historical methods.
Every step is carried out with dedication and true craftsmanship.
Deep respect is shown to both the product and the consumer.
A Taste That Speaks for Itself
These principles enable the Poli family to produce grappas of remarkable quality – from soft and floral to more intense expressions rich in spice and fruit notes. Poli grappas and liqueurs are recognized and celebrated around the world, proudly featured on the menus of top-tier restaurants. They stand as a true symbol of Italian distilling artistry.
