Nonino Vendemmia Grappa 750ml

Nonino Distillatori has been a family enterprise since 1897, when Orazio Nonino built the company's first distillery in Ronchi di Percoto, in the Friuli region of northeastern Italy. Now led by fourth-generation family members, Nonino built its reputation on innovation within a traditional craft, becoming in 1973 the first producer to release a commercial grappa made from a single grape variety. The family still personally selects the pomace and oversees every stage of distillation across its artisanal facilities.

Vendemmia is a harmonious blend of Monovitigno grappas, meaning several single-variety grappas, sourced from Pinot, Malvasia, and other grapes chosen by the Nonino family, that are distilled separately before being brought together. The fresh pomace is processed using discontinuous distillation with head and tail cutting in traditional copper steam stills, a hands-on method that preserves purity and lets each grape's character come through. The finished spirit is bottled clear and unaged at 40% alcohol by volume.

The nose is soft and elegant, offering scents of apricot, green apple, and raisin, while the palate carries a smooth, refined balance of fruit and floral character. The finish is long and velvety, with fresh fruit lingering alongside a gentle sweetness. It works well as an after-dinner digestif, served slightly chilled.
