Nonino Amaro Quintessentia is a masterpiece of Italian distillation that embodies a legacy of craftsmanship and innovation dating back to 1897. Produced by the renowned Nonino Distilleries, this exceptional amaro is a testament to the Nonino family's unwavering dedication to quality, tradition, and pioneering techniques in the world of spirits. The Nonino Distilleries stand as a unique entity in the world, featuring five artisanal distilleries, each equipped with 12 exclusive batch steam stills for the production of the incomparable Nonino Distillates. This meticulous approach, rooted in true craftsmanship, respects tradition and the rhythm of time-honored methods.
The Nonino family, including Benito Nonino, his wife Giannola, and their three daughters Cristina, Antonella, and Elisabetta, continue to lead Italian distillers with their commitment to research, quality, and innovation. In 1984, Benito and Gianolla made history by introducing the world's first single-vineyard, single-grape distillate produced using whole grape clusters, known as UE (pronounced 'Oo-ay'). This groundbreaking product revolutionized the industry, delivering distillates with uniquely intense aromas and flavors.

Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This is an Italian amaro built on a grape distillate base and layered with herbs and botanicals. It comes from Nonino Distillatori in Friuli, a family distilling house whose legacy the producer traces back to 1897. In the glass it opens with botanicals, citrus zest and a hint of sweetness. The palate turns bittersweet as gentian and rhubarb meet soft citrus, with enough sweetness to balance the bitterness before a long, gently warm herbal finish. At 35% ABV it is approachable for someone just discovering amari, yet layered enough to earn a spot in a seasoned drinker's tasting flight. It works neat, over ice, as an after-dinner digestif, or stretched into a simple spritz with sparkling water and an orange slice. We carry it because the grape distillate base gives it a distiller's backbone worth tasting side by side with other amari. It also comes from the Nonino family, who in 1984 introduced UE, a single-vineyard, single-grape distillate made from whole grape clusters.
Pairs well with
- Orange-scented dark chocolate — The amaro's citrus and orange peel notes and its bittersweet palate echo the chocolate's bitterness and fruit.
- Amaro tasting flight — Its gentian and rhubarb character and its grape distillate base make it an instructive counterpoint when poured alongside other amari.
- After a hearty Italian dinner — The herbal complexity and gently warm, lingering finish make it a natural digestif to close a big meal.
