Nonino il Merlot di Nonino Grappa
(0.7l, 41%)
Distilled 24/7, including holidays. Works 24/7, including working days.
The Nonino Distillery was established in 1897 by patriarch Orazio Nonino in the Friuli region of Italy. They’re responsible for some of the biggest revolutions in the Grappa industry - in the early 1970s Giannola Nonino began making Grappa from a single grape variety. In 1984 they also gained government approval to use the whole grape clusters, branded as ÙE (pronounced “Oo-ay”). Today their five artisanal distilleries are run by Benito and Giannola Nonino with their three daughters.
Il Merlot di Nonino Grappa is one varietal, meaning it’s obtained from 100% Merlot grapes. It’s distilled slowly to allow the evaporation and condensation of the volatile components responsible for the olfactory characteristics of the Grappa. It then rests for 6 months before being bottled.

Italians add Grappa to espresso coffee to create a caffè corretto, meaning "corrected coffee". Incredibile.
Tasting Notes
Appearance / Colour
Chrystal clear, pure.
Smell / Nose / Aroma
Of fresh cut hay, alfalfa (lucerne) and clover. Scents of rose petals and cherry stones.
Flavour / Taste / Palate
Dry and grapy entry. Vinous, warm with complex herbaceous flavours and full bodied. At mid-palate, the flavour turns sweet and ripe.
Finish
Long finish, grapy and concentrated.
Comment
This one is more elegant than powerful. Allow it to rest in the glass for a few minutes to expose it to oxygen, best enjoyed after a delicious meal.
