When Benito and Giannola Nonino distilled the first single-varietal grappa on 1 December 1973, they had no idea that they were starting a revolution. The simple farmer's brandy became a cultivated distillate – and the Riserva line epitomises this claim to perfection. For the "3 anni", selected vinacce of white and red grapes from Friuli are distilled in the house's characteristic copper steam stills – discontinuously, separating the first and last run, so that only the centrepiece reaches the barrel. There, the distillate matures for 36 months in Limousin and Nevers barriques and former sherry casks, under customs seal and permanent monitoring.

The result shines amber-coloured in the glass. The nose discovers brioche and candied orange peel, candied fruit and fine spices. Warm and velvety on the palate, with notes of apricot, vanilla and almond. A distillate that effortlessly makes the transition from digestif to meditation drink. SUPERIORE.DE
