Grappa is a unique Italian spirit with deep traditions, inseparable from Italy's culture and gastronomy. It is most often enjoyed as the perfect digestive after a delicious dinner. In our assortment, you will find everything from fresh, floral options to those aged long in oak barrels, including the globally revered masterpieces from the artisanal Poli distillery. We invite you to discover this expressive Italian character.
This is an exclusively Italian beverage whose production technology allows for the secondary use of valuable raw materials left over from winemaking, turning them into a highly noble distillate.
This spirit is made by distilling grape pomace (skins, seeds, and stems) that remains after pressing the juice for wine. It is precisely in the pomace that the most intense grape aromas hide. A quality result depends on the freshness of the raw material and the mastery of the distiller—the process must be done very gently to preserve the essential oils and fragrances to the maximum.
When discussing top-tier quality, it is impossible not to mention the Poli distillery located in the Veneto region. It is a historic, family-run company that has been producing grappa since 1898. Their stills are among the oldest in Italy, and every bottle reflects incredible attention to detail, passion, and a deep respect for the raw material. These are beverages that change the way people perceive this category of spirits.
The flavor palette is incredibly broad and depends on the grape varieties used and the aging method.
Young grappa is clear and unaged in oak barrels, so it features a very pure, straightforward, and refreshing aroma of grapes and white flowers. The aromatic version is made from highly expressive grape varieties, such as Moscato or Gewürztraminer, and delights with intense, sweet scents.
Beverages aged in barrels acquire an amber hue and a much more complex character. The longer the aging (for example, Riserva is aged for no less than 18 months), the more notes of vanilla, toasted nuts, spices, and chocolate emerge. This makes for an especially solid and elegant gift for those seeking exclusivity.
This is a beverage that demands slow and peaceful enjoyment.
In Italy, this is the classic finishing chord to a dinner. The drink pairs wonderfully with good espresso. Italians even have a tradition called Caffè Corretto—where a splash of grappa is added directly to a cup of coffee.
Aromatic or oak-aged styles pair fantastically with dark chocolate, nutty desserts, or traditional Italian panettone. You can always find ideas for a gourmet table in our snacks for wine selection.
For the best experience, the beverage should be poured into special, small tulip-shaped glasses. The narrowing top of the glass concentrates all the subtle aromas of the drink and prevents the alcohol vapors from overpowering the fruitiness.
A young and clear beverage is best served slightly chilled (around 9–13°C) to soften the alcohol sensation and highlight the floral and fruity notes. The aged, darker style is recommended to be served warmer, closer to room temperature (around 17°C), to allow the complex spice and oak aromas to unfold.
