Grappa in the Kitchen

A tasting dinner that lets you discover grappa and local spirits from a different perspective: not only in the glass, but directly on the plate.

At the Antica Distilleria Giovanni Poli in Santa Massenza, chef Paolo Betti interprets the specialities of the Mese del Gusto through a dedicated menu, with grappa and spirits used directly in the preparation of the dishes.

Each course brings together local ingredients, culinary technique and distilling tradition. The spirits help shape the aromas, flavours and character of the dishes, creating a thread that runs through the entire dinner.

A different way to discover the distilling tradition of Santa Massenza and see how what begins in the still can also become part of the kitchen.
