MER2 POLI 3036LC
Grappa aged in barriques in the Distillery’s underground cellars
The last vintage of Toni Poli’s Grappa distilled in October 2000 is over.
We decided to continue with his project, using the “solera” method, thus obtaining a Grappa that cherishes the memory of time.
Raw material: marc obtained from a cuvée of red grape varieties of the province
Distillation: artisanal, in small lots, with a discontinuous copper still provided with steam pots
Aroma: toasted wood, vanilla, cocoa, coffee
Taste: persistent, strong, harmonious
Service: at temperature of 18/20 °C - 65/68 °F in a tulip-shaped glass
The Solera Method
It’s an aging system that allows to merge in a harmonious blend different years as the time goes by.
The new vintage is introduced in the barriques located on the highest row in the aging cellar, while the Grappa to be bottled is taken from the row close to the soil (solera).
The solera row is never emptied completely, but just a part of it, which will be replaced by an equal amount of Grappa coming from the second row, which will be consequently fulfilled by the third row and so on, with a series of successive passages.
This way on the lowest row we obtain a blend of older and older vintages.
The 18-98 Family Solera was founded in 2001, keeping aside every year 7 barrels of Grappa until 2014, thus reaching 98 barriques dedicated to this product.
The youngest spirit that is gradually introduced in the family solera has a minimum aging of 18 months in barrique.
Since 2015 we created a blend of the various vintages, in order to obtain a Grappa featuring a unique and unmistakable style throughout the years.
