Producer history Nonino

The Nonino family has been distilling since 1897, based in Percoto (Friuli Venezia Giulia). Over the years the family introduced major innovations: in 1973 Benito and Giannola Nonino created the first Monovitigno® grappa by distilling the pomace of a single grape variety separately. Leadership passed from Benito and Giannola to their daughters (including Cristina, Antonella and Elisabetta), who expanded the range to include amari, grape eaux-de-vie and aperitifs, promoting grappa also as a cocktail ingredient.

Production philosophy

A pursuit of quality, enhancement of native grape varieties and respect for the territory. Production favors artisanal interventions, control of the raw material supply chain and methods that preserve the original aromas of the grape cluster and fruit.

Territory

Friuli Venezia Giulia (mainly the Percoto / Pavia di Udine area; experimental vineyards and aging warehouses across the region).
