{"title":"Sibona","description":"Sibona is an Italian distillery located in the northwest of the country, in the Piedmont region near the city of Alba. It was founded at the end of the 19th century by Domenico Sibona. The Sibona distillery holds the prestigious Distilling License No. 1, which is granted only to particularly traditional distilleries in Italy. Sibona\u0026#39;s grappas are made exclusively from grapes grown in the Langhe and Rohero regions at altitudes between 150 and 250 meters. After distillation, the grappa is aged in steel or wooden barrels. Among the grape varieties used in the production of Sibona\u0026#39;s grappa are the pomace of Nebbiolo, Chardonnay, Moscato, and Barbera.
