From Poli Distillerie of Schiavon, near Bassano del Grappa in the Veneto — the artisanal distillery founded in 1898, and the only Italian distillery chosen by Lonely Planet among the 10 craft distilleries in the world worthy of a visit. Di Secca is the house's dry, unaged style: a young grappa distilled from fresh Merlot pomace by the flowing-steam method in copper stills, preserving the grape's vibrant primary fruit.
Nose: A basket of red grapes, strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, and currants.
Palate: Well-rounded and dry, with vibrant fruit character.
ABV: 40% (80 Proof)
