Poli Elisir Prugna is a rich, sweet plum liqueur where Poli Distillerie’s liqueur-making tradition meets the taste of pure fruit. As early as 1930, the company’s documents listed “liqueur factory” before “distillery”, so Elisir Prugna naturally continues this long, authentic direction. Poli once produced a dry liqueur based on plum distillate, but as the use of the name “Sliwowitz” changed, Elisir Prugna was created in its place—a softer, sweeter, fruit-driven interpretation of plum.
Made from pure plum juice, it is naturally macerated in alcohol to preserve a true, clear plum profile—genuinely fruity and full, without an artificial impression. On the nose, Elisir Prugna recalls a tray of ripe plums, toasted almonds, and fragrant amaretti biscuits. On the palate it is sweet, warming, and rounded, with an appealing stone-fruit depth and a longer finish carrying an almond-tinged note.
Serve at 10–15 °C in a tulip-shaped glass—enjoy as an after-dinner digestif, alongside desserts (especially those with almonds or chocolate), or as a rich, fruity accent in cocktails.
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.
