Amaro “Quintessentia di Erbe“
The herb liqueur Quintessentia is produced according to an old recipe handed down by Antonio Nonino. High-quality ÙE grape spirit and the finest herbs give the Amaro its full, round aroma. The bottle is reminiscent of an antique apothecary's jar.
Quintessentia is the winner in the bitter liqueur category of the Ultimate Spirit Challenge 2021, the most prestigious spirits competition in the world. Among more than 52 participating countries and over 300 finalists, Amaro Nonino Quintessentia was awarded the top prize, the Chairmans Trophy. The jury, headed by Paul Pacult, described the Amaro as follows: "Beguiling aromas of orange and camomile complement each other. Delicate and mellifluous are the floral and grassy notes that transition with a soft texture into blood orange, borage flower and a slight botanical bitterness. This is an enjoyable, balanced bitter liqueur with complementary flavours. Exceptional." SUPERIORE.DE
"Fragrance of orange zest, bitter orange marmalade, thyme, menthol as well as exotic notes such as mango; on the palate a nice interplay of sweet and bitter, pepper and liquorice perceptible, cocoa in the finish." Falstaff

“L’Aperitivo Nonino” BotanicalDrink
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 origin and organoleptic properties, then dried at low temperature so that the natural intensity of scent, 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
"Bright amber colour. Fresh nose with notes of tea, camomile, fresh citrus fruits, candied lemon peel and elderflower. Expressive on the palate, pleasantly smooth and with a slightly bitter finish." Falstaff

“Gioiello” Distillato di Miele d’Acacia
The Gioiello series by Nonino is the result of years of development and many experiments. They are distillates made exclusively from honey in all its flavours. The production is very limited, as only high-quality honey from ecologically pure areas is used. The distillation process is very slow in order to allow the volatile ingredients responsible for the fragrance of the distillate to evaporate and then condense in the right way, so that the rare and precious fragrance and taste characteristics of the selected honey are not lost.
Elegant, very fine, corresponds to the scent and taste of acacia honey. Very typical of the variety. Served at 10°C or in an iced tulip-shaped glass. Before tasting, it should rest in the glass for a few minutes, as oxygen absorption enhances the aromas and completes the harmony of nose and palate. SUPERIORE.DE

Grappa is not worth less than cognac or brandy and certainly not at all "farmer's drink" - The Nonino family has proved this very successfully. For around 120 years, she has been dedicated to the art of distilling traditional spirits in Friuli. Founded by Orazio Nonino, the company only fills uncompromising quality grappas and distillates distilled from fresh raw materials according to traditional methods in its own discontinuous steam distilling flasks in Ronchi di Percoto, without any aromatic or caramel additives.
Benito and Giannola Nonino are regarded as pioneers of high-quality grappa. From the sixties onwards, the couple founded the enormous success of the distillery by introducing new production methods. In 1973 they launched the Monovitigno Picolit, the first distilled grape marc spirit from a single and rare noble grape variety. The family thus revolutionised the presentation of Grappa in Italy and worldwide. Another milestone: In 1984 Nonino distilled whole grapes instead of marc for the first time and thus created the grape brandy.
For the production, the Nonino family uses fresh must-rich press residues of mostly very old grape varieties, which grow in their own vineyards and were partly already threatened with extinction. The range includes eight Monovitigno grappas alone, but the white Picolit grape is the "queen". The five distilleries of the Nonino distillery are each equipped with twelve discontinuous steam pistons. The grappa, which ages both in stainless steel containers and in more than 1,800 small oak, former sherry and other wooden barrels, is filled into high-quality glass containers after long natural maturation without the addition of colouring agents and then lovingly packaged. Nonino controls every step of the production process - from the vine to distribution.
Four women head the northern Italian family business: Giannola Nonino and her daughters Elisabetta, Cristina and Antonella. The three sisters grew up between grapes, distilling flasks and barriques, because their mother took them everywhere: to winegrowers, customers and in the production rooms marked by the overwhelming smell of the marc.
Nonino was founded in 2003 by the President Carlo Azeglio Ciampi "as the true ambassadors for Italian grappa worldwide." with the Premio Leonardo Qualità Italia. One year earlier, the distillery had already been awarded a contract by the Italian sommelier association of the "Oscar del Vino" has been awarded. Still today, the Picolit of Nonino is the only grappa among the 16 best distillates in the world. "Hall of Fame" of the Spirit Journal.
In January 2020 Nonino was honored with the 20th Wine Enthusiast Wine Star Awards. The distillery from Percoto was the first Italian distillery ever and the only grappa producer to be awarded the "Spirit Brand / Distiller of the Year 2019".
Kara Newman, the distillate expert of the US magazine Wine Enthusiast explained the choice as follows: "Even though the Nonino distillery was founded in 1897, its history actually only begins in the 1970s when Benito Nonino and his wife Giannola start producing high-quality single-variety Monovitigno Grappas. It was above all Giannola who helped to change the brittle and negative image of grappa. As she herself affirms, she was concerned with transforming grappa from Cinderella to Queen with energy, courage and a revolutionary vision. She demonstrated her ability to redesign a traditional distillate for modern times this is simply the best of Made in Italy. And the company's constant quest for excellence is characterised by innovation, while respecting the culture and identity of the territory. SUPERIORE.DE
