Sibona is one of the historical distilleries in the Piedmont region that can boast having the oldest distillation license – the #1 issued by UTF. The distillery is located in the Roero zone, in the communal district of Piobesi d’Alba, a few kilometers from Alba. It was founded approximately a hundred years ago. From its origins, Sibona Distillery has handcrafted its “grappas” from single vine varieties. The distillation process consists of vapor production from fresh marc soon after it arrives in the distillery.
