Amaro Nonino Quintessentia

A refined, golden-hued amaro with a grappa base, offering notes of orange zest, caramel, and alpine herbs.

Created in 1897 by Antonio Nonino in Friuli, this grappa-based amaro represents the sophisticated evolution of Italian herbal liqueurs. Unlike the heavy, medicinal amari of the south, Nonino is aged in oak barrels (barriques), creating a golden hue and elegant profile. The recipe remains a guarded family secret, utilizing alpine herbs from the Friulian mountains.

Distilled from grape pomace (grappa) and infused with a secret blend of alpine herbs, roots, and botanicals. Aged in Nevers, Limousin, and ex-Sherry oak barrels for five years.

Nonino revolutionized the grappa industry by introducing single-varietal grappas, and their Amaro Quintessentia elevated the category from digestive aid to luxury spirit.
