Among the red Bordeaux grape varieties, Cabernet Franc is the most poetic: less vigour than Cabernet Sauvignon, but more fragrance, more herbs, more finesse. In Friuli, where it is rooted in the Grave soils, it has its own unique character – and it is precisely this that Nonino captures. Only Cabernet Franc grapes from the Grave del Friuli are used for this rare cru grape brandy, harvested when perfectly ripe and distilled as a whole fruit: skin, pulp and juice together, using the ÙE method invented by Benito and Giannola Nonino in 1984.

The result surprises with varietal intensity: herbaceous notes, slightly aromatic, with that characteristic scent of black and green pepper that makes Cabernet Franc unmistakable. The elegance of the grape brandy is evident on the palate – the combination of brandy finesse and grappa character. Each hand-blown bottle is dated and numbered. A cru in the truest sense of the word: origin and grape variety in distilled form. SUPERIORE.DE
