About this product
A Noble Spirit Born of Tuscany’s Finest.
Some spirits carry history in every drop, and Poli Grappa di Sassicaia is one of them. Born in 1993 from a meeting between Jacopo Poli and Marchese Incisa della Rocchetta, this remarkable grappa brings together the worlds of fine Tuscan wine and Veneto distilling artistry. Using the pomace of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon from the legendary Tenuta San Guido—home of Sassicaia, one of Italy’s most revered wines—Poli transforms noble grape skins into a spirit of depth, warmth, and elegance.
Distilled in traditional copper stills in the heart of Veneto, then matured for four years in French oak barriques before resting for six further months in barrels that once held Sassicaia wine, this grappa captures the very soul of Italy’s winemaking and distilling heritage. Each sip is an invitation to experience a dialogue between vineyard and distillery, between Tuscany’s rolling hills and the Venetian plains.
For those in Ireland with a love of Italian craftsmanship, Poli Grappa di Sassicaia is more than a drink—it’s a rare encounter with tradition, innovation, and artistry that has no equal.
Why we love it:
Grappa di Sassicaia is unlike any other spirit. It carries the refinement of fine oak aging, yet retains the rustic charm of its pomace roots. Aromas of roasted nuts, chocolate, and mocha meet a palate that is dry, layered, and harmonious, with whispers of spice and lingering warmth. In Ireland, where the appreciation for artisan spirits is ever-growing, this grappa feels right at home—perfect for slow evenings, special gatherings, or as a gift for true connoisseurs.
