Why Liquor Geeks recommends it

Aged grappa surprises a lot of drinkers, and this is the bottle we reach for when someone assumes grappa has to be clear and fiery. Nonino Distillery in Friuli distills ripe grape pomace from a blend of grape varieties, then rests the spirit in small French oak barrels until it takes on a deep amber hue. The nose opens on dried fruit, honey and vanilla with toasted oak and a delicate floral note. The palate brings ripe pear, apricot and caramelized sugar, warmed by cinnamon and a subtle nuttiness, before a long finish of oak, dark chocolate and exotic spice. At 43% ABV it has real presence. It suits brandy and aged-spirits drinkers curious about Italy's pomace tradition, and collectors who want a reference point for oak-aged grappa. We carry it because it shows how much depth patient aging can draw from grape pomace, and because it makes a genuinely rewarding after-dinner pour.

Pairs well with

Aged Parmigiano-Reggiano — The cheese's savory, crystalline depth echoes the grappa's nutty notes and sets off its ripe pear and apricot fruit.
High-cocoa dark chocolate — Bitter chocolate offers a sweet contrast that mirrors the dark chocolate and oak lingering on the finish.
Slow post-dinner digestif — Its honey, dried fruit and cinnamon warmth unfold gradually, rewarding an unhurried sip at the end of a meal.

Questions about this bottle

What is Nonino Grappa Riserva Antica Cuvee made from?

It is distilled from carefully selected, ripe grape pomace drawn from a blend of grape varieties, each contributing its own character. Nonino Distillery produces it in the Friuli region of Italy.

Why is this grappa amber instead of clear?

Its amber color comes from a long, patient maturation in small French oak barrels. The oak also adds the vanilla, toasted oak and spice notes that set it apart from unaged grappa.

What does it taste like?

Expect dried fruit, honey and vanilla on the nose with toasted oak and a floral touch. The palate shows ripe pear, apricot, caramelized sugar, cinnamon and a subtle nuttiness, followed by a long finish of oak, dark chocolate and exotic spice.

How should I drink it?

Sip it neat at room temperature from a tulip-shaped glass, or over a few ice cubes to soften its 43% ABV intensity. It works beautifully as an after-dinner digestif, and it can anchor richer cocktails such as a Grappa Sour or Grappa Old Fashioned.
