This is typically elegant as befits a Nonino Grappa. Before tasting, it should be allowed to air in the glass for some minutes - the exposure to oxygen enhances the perfumes of the Nonino Grappa Tradizione.

 The fresher and softer the pomace is that is distilled, the better the final Grappa will be. Thanks to Benito Nonino’s constant quest for innovation and research, the Nonino distillery owns 66 steam batch stills which allow for the elimination of the heads and tails and the pure selection of the heart of the Grappa. These stills, operating 24 hours a day from September through to November, allow the Noninos to distil healthy pomace immediately after fermentation, at the same time as the harvest and to prevent the formation of methyl alcohol. Those distilleries which, unlike the Noninos, choose to distil the pomace after a lengthy sealed fermentation, will have to work with a primary product that has undergone secondary fermentations characterized by bad odours and flavours and which have a high concentration of methyl alcohol, necessitating the use of a demethylization column. This is why the Noninos have elected to distil the pomace immediately, despite incurring higher production costs, in order that they may ultimately obtain Grappa of supreme quality and purity.

The Nonino family has devoted itself to the art of distillation since 1897. On 1st December 1973, Benito and Giannola Nonino revolutionized the method of producing. They created the single varietal Grappa, Monovitigno Nonino, by distilling the pomace of the Picolit grape on its own. The success was so great that Italian and foreign distillers felt compelled to follow the Nonino model. The Nonino distillery, unique in the world, owns 42 exclusive steam batch stills for the production of the inimitable Nonino distillate, respecting the tradition and the rhythms of true craftsmanship work. The Nonino Family personally take care of the purchase of the primary products and follow the various phases of distillation to guarantee the maximum quality of the distillate.
