| Clear and colourless. Intense, plummy, sweet, kirsch-tinged, faintly grassy, ripe pear nose. Very gently sweet, quite well structured, slightly spicy, fairly intense, pear and dried cherry flavours with a lingering hay-tinged finish. Classy and well priced!

A Best Buy |
| Nonino was the first producer to distill pomace and fresh fruit just at harvest time, and amongst the first to distill strictly from fresh juice, and not just the pomace. It is the latter technique that allows this Moscato spirit to retain much of the aromatic richness for which the grape is known. Chill this and serve as a digestif, and experience why Nonino is synonymous with the absolute pinnacle of quality grappa production. |
