Product Description

Nonino Quintessentia® Amaro – Friuli, Italy

A grappa-based Italian amaro of refined elegance, Nonino Quintessentia® is crafted by the historic Distillatori Nonino in Friuli. Its name, Quintessentia, honors the family’s alchemic approach to infusion and aging. This herbal digestif is distinguished by a harmonious bittersweet profile, combining bright citrus, rich spices, and delicate herbal complexity.

Tasting Notes

• Aroma: Inviting and aromatic, with pronounced herbal notes layered with orange zest, licorice, and subtle cocoa hints.

• Palate: Light yet complex, delivering a balanced interplay of bittersweet citrus, caramel, vanilla, and warming spices, including allspice and pepper, all grounded in the elegant backbone of infused aged grappa.

• Texture: Smooth and delicate, less heavy or cloying than many amari, with a refined, lingering finish that harmonizes sweet and bitter elements.

Production & Aging

• Base: Infused aged grappa

• Aging: Matured in Nevers, Limousin, and ex-Sherry barriques, enhancing complexity and depth of flavor

• Botanicals: Licorice, orange zest, pepper, cocoa, vanilla, and a complex blend of herbs and spices

Serving Suggestions

• Neat or on the rocks: Best enjoyed as a digestif, optionally garnished with an orange slice to accentuate citrus notes.

• Cocktails: Integral to modern classics such as the Paper Plane, or for inventive spritzes with sparkling wine and soda water.

• Versatility: Its subtle bitterness and herbal balance make it equally suited to pre-meal aperitivo or post-meal indulgence.
