Ode to Grappa

The poetry of a guest visiting the Poli Distillery

With great pleasure, we publish the poetry by Mr. Marco Villani, inspired by to our artisanal distillery.

 

"Poli… And it’s Grappa!

My soul flies

laid and clinging

to these huge stills

of shiny copper

and stretches the fingers to gently touch the essence,

to smell the scents,

to grab its life.

Our pleasure dances happy

suspended on a barrel

and he stands up and looks,

derogative of the void,

upon the world of many

unable to fully enjoy.

They travel free,

unstoppable and light,

the loud waves with no backwash

in a sea of flavours,

perfumes and orgasms.

A new staying,

made of light blue,

oxygen and sun,

where you can stay without breathing,

where you can talk with no words,

where you can listen to the mute passion,

where you can fly with no more sense."

Marco Villani
