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.

Grappa obtained from Barbera vineyards located in the two prestigious D.O.C zones: Barbera d’Alba and Barbera d’Asti. During the distillation we proceed to discard the not high quality part of alcohol (head and tail) so to obtain the core of the distillate with all the tipical scents of Barbera grapes. After grappa age for a very long period (nearly 4 or 5 Years) in medium size casks made by “American Quercus Alba” oak. After the aging, every single cask Grappa is put in the bottles.
