Sibona Grappa Riserva Port barrels (0.5L, 44% Vol.)

This special Grappa Riserva di Nebbiolo, already matured for a long period (over 2 years), in oak wood, was subsequently aged for over 24 months in barrels purchased in Portugal and already used previously to elevate the "vintage Ports" of some of the most prestigious wineries. The particular permanence in port barrels, already used in whiskies, was experimented by us in an innovative way on Grappa and with exceptional results from a qualitative point of view. The delicate and particular aroma and the unique, full, elegant flavor with a fruity aftertaste are very reminiscent of that of the port already contained in these barrels.
