Nonino Grappa Vendemmia is a premium Italian grappa from the Nonino family distillery in Friuli, producing grappa continuously since 1897. 'Vendemmia' means 'harvest,' and this expression is built from a carefully selected blend of freshly pressed grape pomace from the year's wine production, distilled in the small-batch copper pot stills that are the Nonino signature. The result is a finer, more aromatic grappa than the rustic bottlings many drinkers first encounter.
On the nose expect floral and fruit aromas — white peach, apricot, acacia honey, and a gentle herbal note. The palate is elegant, warming, and distinctly grape-forward, with orchard fruit, delicate spice, and a long, clean finish that stays refined even at full grappa strength. Serve lightly chilled in a dedicated grappa tulip after a meal as a digestivo, alongside espresso or dark chocolate, or used with care as a base for contemporary Italian-inspired cocktails.
The Nonino family is credited with elevating grappa from a farmhouse by-product to a respected artisanal spirit, pioneering single-vineyard and single-varietal distillations starting in the 1970s. Every bottle reflects the family's multi-generational commitment to Friulian distilling tradition and precision pot-still technique.

Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
Grappa has a reputation for being harsh, and this bottle is a good answer to that. Nonino has been distilling in Friuli since 1897. Vendemmia, Italian for "harvest," is made from a selected blend of freshly pressed grape pomace from the year's wine production, distilled in the family's small-batch copper pot stills and bottled unaged at 41% ABV. The result is delicate rather than rustic. Jasmine and acacia open the nose, followed by apricot, peach and a touch of white pepper. The palate is velvety, with grape, pear and honey, then a faint almond and grape-skin bitterness before a long, clean finish. It suits the curious drinker whose only grappa so far has been a rough farmhouse pour. It also gives the Italian-spirits collector a benchmark from the family credited with turning grappa into a respected artisanal spirit. We carry it because it shows what careful pot distillation can do with pomace, and because it belongs after dinner, lightly chilled, beside an espresso.
Pairs well with
- Fruit tarts or almond sweets — The grappa's apricot, peach and almond notes echo the fruit and nut flavors in the dessert.
- Prosciutto and aged cheeses — Its gentle sweetness and faint grape-skin bitterness balance salty, savory antipasti.
- After-dinner espresso — Served as a traditional digestivo, its long, fruity finish and refreshing quality round off a meal alongside a coffee.
