Polini Group (Polini Distillates, Wines & Beverages) is an Italian group active in the production and commercialisation of spirits, liqueurs and wines. It operates through production plants and an extensive private-label activity, with administrative headquarters in Paratico (BS) and registered office in Brescia.
According to the producer's official information, the group began as a family business in 1967 in the area between Bergamo and Brescia and progressively expanded by broadening its brand portfolio and private-label activities. Over the years the group invested in automation, logistics and production infrastructure (new Paratico plant) and also acquired winemaking expertise with the establishment of Polini & Trida Winery in 2021.
Production philosophy
The company declares an approach focused on supply-chain quality, careful selection of raw materials and sustainability: development of organic (BIO) lines, reduction of plastic use within the company and use of energy from a photovoltaic plant to support production and logistics activities.
Territory
Lombardy (administrative headquarters and production plant in Paratico, province of Brescia; registered office in Brescia). Commercial activity and distribution on national and international markets.
Awards and recognition
The group reports international recognitions (e.g. London Spirits Competition 2022: awards for references such as MySpritz Traditional, Limoncello Liberty, Sambuca Iseo and others listed on the company's site).
Production method
Polini differentiates between commercial activity (Polini Group Italia) and production (Polini Produzioni). The Paratico plant is geared toward automation and large-scale production, while some references (e.g. grappa and traditional liqueurs) are presented using traditional distillation methods. The company is certified to food quality standards (BRC, IFS) and has launched dedicated lines for organic products.
Distillation
Alambicco; for grappa, the use of a discontinuous alambicco (batch still) is indicated in some product sheets.
Ageing
Wood ageing for some references (for brandy a minimum ageing period is indicated on certain product sheets).
