Grappa Tradizione Nonino
Grappa Tradizione Nonino is a traditional Italian grappa crafted by the Nonino family, the pioneers who revolutionized grappa production. Grappa is the most ancient and traditional distillate in Northern Italy, obtained by distilling the solid parts of the grape, or pomace. On 1st December 1973, Benito and Giannola Nonino created the single varietal Grappa Monovitigno Nonino by distilling the pomace of Picolit grapes on its own, revolutionizing the method of producing, introducing, and packaging grappa in Italy and throughout the world. This traditional expression showcases the Nonino family's expertise, crafted from fresh, soft, selected, and de-stalked pomace of white and red grapes. Why You'll Love It This is grappa from the family that changed everything. The Nonino family's innovation in 1973 transformed grappa from a rustic spirit into a refined artisanal product, and their success has been such that it persuaded Italian and foreign distillers to follow the Nonino model. Grappa Tradizione represents the foundation of their craft - a traditional expression that showcases their meticulous approach to selecting and distilling fresh, de-stalked pomace. This is authentic Italian grappa from the masters of the craft, offering exceptional quality at an accessible price. Production & Heritage Produced in Friuli, Italy, by the renowned Nonino family, pioneers of single varietal grappa since 1973.
