The legendary winery Sassicaia provides the lees, which consist of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Cabernet Franc and originates from Tenuta San Guido in Bolgheri (Tuscany). The Grappa is distilled by Jacopo Poli himself, who then lets it mature for 4 years in French barriques. The Sassicaia Grappa is beautifully balanced, presenting a round finish with a powerful finish.
