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.
