The Story
Poli Gran Bassano Vermouth Bianco is a vibrant, aromatic, and beautifully balanced artisanal white vermouth that brilliantly captures the welcoming spirit of the Veneto region. Distinctly crafted upon a premium white wine base of native Vespaiolo grapes sourced from the Breganze DOC—a variety named after the local wasps (vespa) attracted to its sweet, highly fragrant clusters—it pours a gorgeous burnished-gold hue in the glass. The nose is exceptionally expressive and complex, opening with a dominant bouquet of fresh grapefruit and bright citrus zest wrapped carefully inside an elegant layer of white flowers, lavender, and hawthorn blossom. This gentle temperament is achieved through a calibrated, masterfully balanced infusion of 39 distinct aromatic botanicals, showcasing regional botanicals like local elderflower alongside exotic accents of galangal, myrtle, and Roman absinthium. On the palate, it delivers an incredibly rich, smooth, and finely knit bittersweet profile. A succulent core of mellow golden raisin and honeyed citrus peel is met gracefully by an evolving streak of dried kitchen herbs and coriander before resolving cleanly into a long, mouthwatering finish defined by a pleasantly pithy, bittersweet citrus edge.
Food Pairing: Pairs wonderfully with artisanal goat cheese, prosciutto-wrapped melon, fresh seafood crudo, or crisp vegetable crudités with herbed dipping sauce.
