About this product
The Soul of Italian Grappa.
Sarpa, meaning pomace in Venetian dialect, is where the Poli story truly begins. This grappa embodies the essence of Venetian distilling tradition: simple, pure, and deeply connected to the land. Using a blend of Merlot and Cabernet pomace, Poli Sarpa captures the raw energy of freshly pressed grapes and transforms it into a crystal-clear spirit that is both aromatic and soulful.
Distilled in small copper stills with steam-heated boilers, Sarpa is not about extravagance—it is about authenticity. Every sip tells a story of the grape’s second life, of heritage handed down through generations, and of a distillery that has been keeping grappa’s flame alive since 1898.
For Ireland, where curiosity for fine, handcrafted spirits is growing, Poli Sarpa offers something unique: a true taste of Veneto’s distilling craft, delivered in its purest form. It’s the grappa that Italians reach for when they want the real thing, and now it’s ready to be discovered by Irish connoisseurs.
Why we love it:
Sarpa is straightforward, yet never simple. It’s aromatic, herbal, and slightly rustic, with the unmistakable stamp of Cabernet and Merlot skins. This is grappa as it was always meant to be—honest, characterful, and unpretentious. In Ireland, Sarpa has become a quiet favourite among those who seek authenticity in their spirits, a reminder that sometimes less refinement means more personality.

About the producer
Poli Distillerie has been crafting artisanal grappa in Schiavon, Veneto, since 1898. Still run by the Poli family, the distillery preserves the art of small-batch distillation using copper stills, while sharing the story of grappa through their famous museum in Bassano del Grappa. Known for both innovation and tradition, Poli has elevated grappa’s reputation worldwide—and in Ireland, their Sarpa expression is often the first bottle enthusiasts fall in love with.
