Nonino was the first producer to distill pomace and fresh fruit just at harvest time to make their unique grappas, and among the first to distill strictly from fresh juice. It's the latter technique that allows this Moscato spirit to retain much of the aromatic richness for which the grape is known. Look for an evocatively fragrant nose with lots of fruit and floral tones. You will find this a quite intense but approachable grappa, with plenty of fruit and some spice on the palate. Chill and serve as a digestif. |
