Considered “the Queen of Grappa” all over the world, for its unique harmony and fine balance , Nonino Grappa Picolit Cru is a triumph. When first released, it's single varietal nature was a revolutionary moment for Grappa in Italy.
The smell of fresh honeycomb, acacia flowers, ripe quince and fresh muscatel is a treat. All of these come through to taste, with a finish that has hints of sourdough. A legendary grappa.
It is made from selected pomace collected fresh and soft from Picolit Cru Grapes from Colli Orientali of Friuli. Picolit is a very rare, highly sought after spargola grape which suffers from coulure (poor flower setting).
The Nonino family have been distilling since 1897, when Orazio Nonino first established his premise. Over 100 years later, the 5th generation of Nonino's remain at the centre of every element of their spirits. A true distilling dynasty.
The Nonino distillery has been active in Friuli, Italy for over a century. Prior to establishing roots in one location the family operated a moveable still, which was transported from vineyard to vineyard to make grappa on site.
A delicious, light saffron-coloured aperitivo from grappa maestros Nonino that offers a more subtle and flexible blending partner than classic red aperitivos.
Particular, aromatic Nonino's Fragolino is a lovely accompaniment to a desert of fresh fruit salad or when used in a sorbet. Serve this Grappa chilled (around 12°C in an icy open tulip shaped glass).
A great introductory Grappa from the renowned Nonino family - this is a classic of the genre.
Using the aromatic Moscato grape, this delightful Nonino Grappa is excellent digestif when served alongside cream cakes, (or cream in general including custard). Served it chilled.
Refined, soft and elegant with a scent of golden apples and freshly baked bread - Nonino Chardonnay is an excellent aperitif to have alongside ceviche or sushi.
Distillation 100 % with artisanal method, that takes place with the timely cut, batch by batch, off heads and tails, preserving exclusively the purest part of grappa, the heart.
A delicious Eau De vie made from honey in all its taste varieties, this a truly unique expression created by famed Grappa producers Cristina, Antonella and Elisabetta Nonino.
