Distiller Notes
In the venetian dialect, sarpa, means "vinaccia", the grape solids that are used to make Grappa. Sarpa di poli is made by distilling the marcs of two grape vines: cabernet (40%) and Merlot (60%), two grapes from the hills of bassano.
The result is a grappa with a delicate, floral bouquet slightly fragranced with juniper berry. This grappa is silky on the palate and persistently tasty. The time to savor it is always!! It is most appreciated after an especially fine seafood meal which doesn't clash with this especially delicate grappa.
It should be served at a temperature of approximately 50 - 60 degrees F. Not cold but slightly chilled.
Eau de Vie, or ‘water of life,’ is a term in France that refers to any unaged or newly-made spirit in general. However English-speaking countries follow a narrower definition, applying the name only to clear, unaged Brandies that are twice distilled and made from fruit other than grapes. Many fine examples of Eau de Vies are produced all over the world.
