Grappa | flavoured

The grappa flavoured with honey has a pure scent of lemon balm, myrtle and mint, and its taste is also reminiscent of a mild herbal liqueur. The finish is just as mild with a fine honey sweetness. SUPERIORE.DE

Silvia Milocco Nonino, Antonio's wife and from the third generation of the distiller family, lost her husband in the war. The only wealth she had for the economic survival of her family was the marc. She set to work determinedly and learned distilling in the early 1940s. Before becoming Italy's very first female master distiller, she worked as a cook in the family inn. Her botanical knowledge was of great advantage in the creation of her first liqueur. She wanted her products to express her Friulian homeland: pure, authentic and unadulterated. Therefore, she made an aperitif from botanicals, which she called "Aperitivo Bianco".

After their grandchildren Cristina, Antonella, Elisabetta and Francesca had spent three years researching the botanicals of the traditional recipe, they created a new version of the "Aperitivo Bianco" in 2018, this time enhanced by the grape spirit ÙE Fragolino. The sisters drew inspiration from the recipes in the family archive and transformed an old botanical recipe into a contemporary drink of pleasure.

For this, flowers, roots and fruits are carefully selected according to their origin and organoleptic properties, then dried at low temperature so that the natural intensity of fragrance, taste and colour is preserved. Gentle filtering preserves the citrus freshness and lovely mildness of the plants. A 100% vegetable harmony refined by the grape spirit ÙE Monovitigno Fragolino, which underlines the natural balsamic nuances with Mediterranean fruity notes. Hints of blackberry and wild berries round off the taste.

The special thing about it: the new aperitivo is 100% natural and vegan and is made without any additives.

This fresh and lively aperitif tastes perfect with ice and a twist of lime, but also as a light drink with 4 cl L'Aperitivo Nonino, 4 cl dry sparkling wine, ice and lemon zest. Wonderful also as an ingredient in a cocktail. SUPERIORE.DE

The basis for the flavoured grappa liqueur is Stravecchia Diciotto Lune, made from a selection of the best marcs from Trentino, aged for at least 18 (diciotto) months in small barrels of fine wood. It has very delicate aromas and a round, soft taste. And when roasted coffee beans are added for flavouring, they give this Stravecchia a delicate aroma reminiscent of the old Italian custom of correcting the coffee with a sip of grappa. SUPERIORE.DE
