Amaro Nonino

Nonino Distillatori, a multi-generational family enterprise in Friuli, Italy, has pioneered innovation in Italian distillation since 1897, notably with their distinct Ùe Grape Distillate. Amaro Nonino Quintessentia, introduced in 1992, embodies this commitment, crafted from an infusion of botanicals in their own aged Ùe distillate rather than a neutral spirit, a decision that profoundly shapes its structural integrity and depth. The botanicals, sourced from Friulian mountains and globally, reflect the region’s historical role as a cultural crossroads, macerated and then integrated with the barrique-aged grape distillate. This meticulous process yields an amaro distinguished by its balanced, bittersweet profile, presenting a refined textural lightness and intricate herbaceous framework without overt bitterness. The result is a digestivo that expresses both agricultural precision and a legacy of distilling artistry.
