Tasting Poli Grappa: an art for the senses

Turn a simple sip into a sensory journey.
Discover how Poli Grappa reveals its secrets through your eyes, nose, palate, and silence.

The tasting ritual

Tasting is not drinking, but pausing and listening.

Choose a quiet setting, a Poli tulip glass, and the right temperature: 10‑13 °C for young grappas like Sarpa di Poli, 17 °C for aged Grappas like Grappa di Sassicaia stored in underground cellars.

Observe, smell, and sip slowly: each taste unveils a world of aromas and emotions.

The 5 steps of perfect tasting

1. Observe the transparency and color against a white background.

2. Swirl the glass: watch the arches and the speed of the “tears.”

3. Bring the glass to your nose and inhale slowly.

4. Take a small sip: notice flavors and warmth.

5. Breathe gently with your mouth slightly open to sense the lingering aromas.

Pairings and special moments

A young PO' di Poli Morbida pairs well with fresh fruit and milk chocolate.

A Grappa like Cleopatra Amarone Oro goes beautifully with dark chocolate or blue cheeses.

But the real magic happens when tasting and storytelling meet among vinaccia and alembics. Discover how to experience Grappa with all your senses… right where it is born.
