Sibona La Grappa di MOSCATO 40% vol. 0.5 l

Description

Sibona La Grappa di MOSCATO is a single-varietal grappa from Piedmont, with an alcohol content of 40 per cent, available in a 0.5-litre bottle. The official designation is Grappa Piemontese di Moscato. The long-established Distilleria Sibona uses selected Moscato pomace from freshly harvested grapes as its raw material, which is carefully selected during the grape harvest. Distillation takes place entirely on the distillery’s own premises in copper stills under the supervision of Sibona’s experienced oenologists and master distillers. After distillation, this grappa is first aged for an extended period in stainless steel tanks and then matured in oak casks, allowing its balanced and varietal character to develop further.

Distilleria Sibona is based in Piobesi d’Alba in Piedmont and, with its single-varietal grappas, is specifically dedicated to the characteristic grape varieties of this renowned wine-growing region. With the Sibona Moscato Grappa, the aromatic Moscato grape takes centre stage. This grappa is bottled in Sibona’s signature 0.5-litre graduated bottle, featuring a level indicator on the side and a practical pourer. The combination of fresh Moscato pomace, in-house distillation, ageing in stainless steel and subsequent maturation in oak casks makes this bottling a classic example of the Piedmontese grappa tradition.

Tasting Note

Colour: Delicate straw yellow.

Nose: Alluring and intense, with the characteristic, aromatic scent of freshly harvested Moscato grapes.

Sibona La Grappa di Moscato is best served at around 18 °C in a classic tulip or balloon glass and is excellent as a digestif after a meal. It pairs well with dried fruit, walnuts and almonds, as well as chocolate and various desserts whose flavours complement the fruity Moscato character. Mature cheese also makes a suitable savoury accompaniment and, with its stronger flavour, provides an interesting contrast to the aromatic and smooth character of this Piedmontese grappa.
