Nonino Grappa Riserva AnticaCuvée is an elegant and refined Italian grappa, masterfully blended from selected distillates made from Pomace of red and white grapes (including Ribolla, Moscato, and Merlot). Aged for at least 5 years in Limousin, Nevers, and ex-sherry barriques, this grappa develops a deep, amber color and a luxurious profile that bridges the gap between Italian tradition and world-class aged spirits.
Produced by the legendary Nonino family distillery in Friuli, this cuvée is an ultra-premium expression—ideal for those who enjoy complex, barrel-aged spirits with a distinctly Italian soul.
