Grappa Vendemmia Riserva 24 Mo 41% vol 125 years Special Selection - matured in barriques

A Grappa Riserva from Friuli, 41% ABV, aged for at least 24 months in barriques. The bottle is part of the Special Selection with which Nonino celebrates its 125th anniversary.

Nonino Distillatori distills in Friuli-Venezia Giulia and is considered one of the defining houses of Italian grappa culture. The pomace is distilled discontinuously in copper stills, a gentle method that preserves the aromas of the grapes. The subsequent aging in wood gives the distillate color, roundness, and depth.

In the glass, it shows a warm amber. On the nose, vanilla and honey meet dried fruits and light woody spice. On the palate, the grappa feels soft and dense, the fruit remains clearly recognizable, and the finish is long and carried by woody notes.

Recommendation: neat at room temperature in a tulip-shaped glass, as a digestif after a festive meal. Pairs well with dark chocolate or aged cheese.
