About the Distillery:
The art of distillation has been a Nonino Family privelege since 1897. The Nonino Distilleries, unique in the world, consist of five artisinal distilleries, each with 12 exclusive batch steam stills for the production of the inimitable Nonino Distillates, respecting the tradition and the rhythms of true craftmanship.
The Nonino Family personally takes care of the purchase of the primary products and follows the various phases of distillation to guarantee the maximum quality of the distillate. 100% Artisinal Method. Benito Nonino, his wife Giannola, and their three daughters Cristina, Antonella and Elisabetta, continue to lead Italian distillers through their devotion to research, quality and innovation. In 1984, Benito and Gianolla solidified their status as industry leaders by introducing the world's first single-vineyard, single-grape distillate produced using whole grape clusters. This product, known as UE (pronounced 'Oo-ay') further revolutionized the industry and introduced distillates with uniquely intense aroma and flavor components.
About the Amaro:
A return to the origins, Antonio Nonino’s ancient recipe meets again the softness of aging in barriques and small casks.
A return to the origins, Antonio Nonino’s ancient recipe meets again the softness of aging in barriques and small casks.
In memory of grandfather Antonio we celebrate the Return to the Origins with Amaro Nonino Quintessentia® by creating a RISERVA which boasts more than 24 months of natural ageing in oak barriques and small casks.
Antonio Nonino, third generation of the family of Distillers, used to keep Amaro Carnia in small wooden casks. Steel was prohibitive. The infusion in contact with wood evolved and was enriched with new notes and new aromas.
Although there is no clear regulation on the aging of liqueurs, in respect of the philosophy that has always accompanied us, aging takes place in a dedicated cellar, under seal and permanent surveillance by the Customs and Monopoly Office: the result is extraordinary!

Tasting Notes:
With great softness, the citrous notes are lessened and it gains great elegance declined in different and enveloping notes. At the beginning autumnal brushwood and moss fragrances that leave way to scents of raisins and passito. Balsamic scents that balance the bitter notes of rhubarb, scent of flamed orange and caramelized vanilla, great persistence and intensity.
