Sibona GRAPPA RISERVA Botti da RUM 40% Vol. 0.5 l + GB is an exceptional grappa speciality from the long-established Distilleria Sibona in Piedmont. With this innovative bottling, Sibona is breaking new ground, combining classic Italian grappa tradition with the fascinating influences of former rum casks. The distillery is one of Italy’s most renowned grappa producers and is known for its high-quality distillates and its experimental cask-ageing techniques. The elegant 0.5 l bottle, presented in a high-quality gift box, makes this Grappa Riserva a special discovery for lovers of aged grappa.


The grappa is made from carefully selected pomace from freshly harvested grapes, predominantly of the Dolcetto, Barbera and Nebbiolo varieties, which are hand-picked by Sibona during the harvest. Distillation takes place entirely in-house in traditional copper stills under the supervision of experienced oenologists and master distillers. After an initial resting period in stainless steel tanks, the grappa is first aged for around two years in medium-sized oak casks. This is followed by a further ageing period of more than 24 months in ex-rum casks previously used by renowned rum producers. The total period of oak ageing thus amounts to approximately four years. This exceptional combination of casks lends the grappa additional depth, complexity and elegant rum notes.
