Grappa Reserve Rum Wood Finish 0.5L

Description

Grappa Riserva Botti da Rum is born in the heart of Piedmont. This is the land of great wines where the main grape varieties are Moscato, Arneis, Nebbiolo, Barbera, and Dolcetto. The Sibona distillery is among the oldest. Suffice it to say that it holds license No. 1. The distillation system used allows for the production of high-quality products. Grappa Riserva Botti da Rum is an example of this. The fresh pomace is quickly transported to the cellar in order to begin the distillation in the shortest possible time. At the beginning of its activity, Sibona used an old steam locomotive to produce the necessary steam. This was later replaced by copper stills. During distillation, the cellar masters pay close attention to separating the heads and tails. In this way, only the heart is exploited, full of primary aromas and scents with a noble dose of alcohol. Aging generally takes place in large tonneaux to better refine the product. The Grappa Riserva Botti da Rum is produced using the barrels in which the rum has already been aged. The olfactory complexity is due to this process, which also makes it refined and elegant on the palate. The oak wood used in particular to age the rum makes the Grappa Sibona Riserva smooth and highly aromatic. The company has achieved excellent results thanks to experimentation and research applied to its spirits. Finally, the territory in which it is located allows it to have pomace derived from great vineyards.

The Antica Distilleria Domenico Sibona S.p.A. is situated in the Roero zone, in the communal district of Piobesi d’Alba, a few kilometres from Alba. It was founded about a hundred years ago on the former premises of an old kiln. The distillery is located in the centre of an important wine zone, where the most typical vines from Piedmont are cultivated: Nebbiolo vine from which Barolo, Barbaresco and Roero wines are created according to their own zones of production, besides Barbera, Dolcetto, Moscato, Chardonnay, Arneis and Brachetto vines. Sibona is one of the historical distilleries in the Piedmont region and can boast the oldest distillation licence, the N° 1, issued by UTF (the offi­cial institution that regulates all the operations having to do with distilleries).This is a synonym for a great past and prestige.

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.
