Of all the grapes that Nonino distils for its cru line, none is as closely associated with the family as Fragolino. It grows on the company's own vineyard in Buttrio – the 40-hectare experimental garden in the heart of Friuli, which the Noninos planted with almost forgotten indigenous grape varieties. The name reveals the secret: Fragola means strawberry. This rare hybrid vine carries the flavour of wild wild strawberries – a flavour that is banned for wine production in the EU, but is fully justified in distillates. What is not allowed in wine becomes a revelation in ÙE. The whole grape – skin, pulp and juice – passes through Benito's copper steam still.

Blueberries and forest fruits dominate, accompanied by elderberry notes reminiscent of Friulian summer days. Crystal clear in the glass, wild in character. Each hand-blown bottle bears the vintage and number – a distillate from our own vineyard that could not be produced anywhere else. SUPERIORE.DE
