Grappa Barbera gelagert in Sherryfässer 44% vol. Sibona Distillery

Description: 
Amber colour. Intense, characterising aroma with delicate notes of nuts and hazelnuts. Elegant, involving flavour with a sweetish aftertaste. Persistent finish with hints of dried fruit and cocoa. 
This special Grappa Riserva di Barbera, already matured, for a long period, in oak, was subsequently elevated for several months in barrels, purchased in Spain and previously used to elevate the "Sherry" of one of the most prestigious wineries. The special ageing in sherry casks, already used in whisky, was experimented by us in an innovative way on grappa and with exceptional results in terms of quality. The intense, characterising aroma and the elegant, convoluted flavour with a sweetish aftertaste are very reminiscent of the Sherry already contained in these casks. 

Grape variety: 
Barbera marc, from grapes harvested fresh during the harvest and selected by Sibona. 

Ageing: 
Matured for a long period in stainless steel tanks. This is followed by ageing for two years in medium-sized classic oak casks and then in Sherry casks for a further two years. 

Pairing: 
Dried fruits, nuts, almonds, sweets and chocolate. Also delicious with mature cheeses. Also perfect with a cigar. 

Bottle size: 
500 ml - 50 cl - 0.5 lt. 

Producer: 
Sibona Distillery 
The Sibona distillery is located in Alba, a Piedmontese town about an hour's drive south of Turin. It was founded more than 100 years ago and initially burned the fires with the help of a disused steam locomotive, in whose boiler the fires were lit. It wasn't until the mid-20th century that this was replaced with a modern copper flask. The distillery holds "Distillation License No. 1", an old distillation license that is only issued by the tax office if the distillery is a very traditional business with a significant past and the highest level of craftsmanship. This distillation license is also found in the logo on each bottle.
