Sibona Camomilla Liqueur 1L
Sibona Camomilla Liqueur 1L is one of Italy's most distinctive liqueurs — chamomile flowers slow-infused in fine unaged grappa at the Antica Distilleria Domenico Sibona in Piobesi d'Alba, Piedmont. Lightly sweetened and rested in stainless steel until harmonious, it is bottled in the full 1-liter format at 32% ABV (per US retail listings). The result is unlike any chamomile tea you've had: honeyed, floral, and unmistakably grappa-driven, with an herbal edge that keeps it from ever being simple. It's available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

Piedmont's Chamomile Expression
Sibona has distilled grappa in the Roero hills since around 1900, and its liqueur line applies the same philosophy — fine spirit, real botanicals, patience — to flavors most distilleries wouldn't attempt. For Camomilla, selected chamomile flowers infuse slowly in Sibona's flagship unaged grappa; the grappa's grape fire intensifies the floral character while light sweetening rounds it out. Pour it chilled after dinner the way the Piedmontese do, or reach for it in an herbal spritz. See more liqueurs or the Sibona range at Del Mesa.
Tasting Notes
Per retailer notes: burnished gold; honey, peach nectar, white flowers, and beeswax on the nose; a sweet, round entry of chamomile intensified by the grappa's presence; a persistent herbal finish with mint and a mustard-seed edge.
How to Enjoy
Chilled and neat as a digestivo, or in a white-wine spritz with soda and lemon peel. A few drops transform a hot toddy.
