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

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

This special Grappa Riserva, already aged for a long period in oak wood (2 years) was then left to rest for several months (24 months) in barrels, already used previously, to age the “Sauternes” wine from some prestigious wineries.

The particular period in Sauternes barrels was tested by us in an innovative way on Grappa and with exceptional results from a qualitative point of view.

The inebriating scent, with aromas of ripe fruit, honey and acacia flowers and the rich, fresh, elegant flavor with notes of candied fruit and oak, are very reminiscent of that of the Sauternes already contained in these barrels.

Raw material: Pomace (mainly from Moscato and Brachetto vines), from grapes harvested fresh during the harvest and selected Sibona.

Distillation: Totally in-house, in copper stills, thanks to the wise experience of our oenologists-master distillers.
