Description
Grappa Riserva Botti da Porto is one of several spirits produced by the Antica Distilleria Sibona. This company's tradition in the field of spirits is very ancient, dating back to the early 1900s when the founder began producing grappa in Pionesi d'Alba in the province of Cuneo. This area is the main cultivation site for fine grape varieties, such as Nebbiolo, Barbera, Dolcetto, Moscato, Chardonnay, Arneis, and Brachetto. The calcareous, gravelly soils ensure vigorous growth of the vines that produce fine Nebbiolo grapes, whose pomace represents the raw material for this high-quality grappa. Grappa Riserva Botti da Porto is obtained through a very particular production process that is still carried out following traditional methods. Immediately after the harvest, the fresh pomace is distilled immediately to preserve the aromas and flavors of the raw material. The grappa is then aged for a period of no less than 24 months in wooden barrels shipped directly from Portugal, previously used for the maturation of fine Port wine. This unique maturation process, also used for whisky, gives the grappa a distinctive fragrance that sets it apart from other products on the market.

From its origins, Sibona distillery has handcrafted its “grappas” from single vine varieties. The distillation process consists of vapour production from fresh marc soon after it arrives in the distillery. Originally, distillation was carried out by means of an old locomotive, which, in time, gave way to copper alembics. Marc is distilled no sooner it arrives in the distillery, which allows the extraction of the grape’s full aroma. Recently, the distillation of Muscat, Hamburg Muscat and pink Muscat grapes, immediately after fermentation, has given origin to a spirit called “Distillato Uva” (named UvediLanga by licence). This distillate has been acclaimed by connoisseurs for its excellent quality and organoleptic characteristics.
Besides the selection of the best marc of the zone, Sibona’s grappas reach high quality levels thanks to accurate distillation, constant updating and improvement of the equipment, the experience of two oenologists who have been working in distillation for years, the elimination of the first and last portions of the distillates, and last, but not least, a long ageing period in barrels, which renders the grappas not only soft and pleasant but also more complex and aromatised.
