Nonino Il Moscato Grappa Monovitigno

Grappa Nonino Il Moscato is a single-varietal Monovitigno grappa from the Nonino family distillery in Friuli, Italy, the house that created the first single-varietal grappa in 1973. It is distilled from fresh, soft Moscato grape marc selected from the best growing areas, which is fermented under vacuum in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks and distilled straight away. Distillation is slow and discontinuous in Nonino's copper steam stills, cutting heads and tails, and the grappa then rests for six months to a year in stainless steel. Bottled at 41% ABV in a 700ml bottle, it is elegant, aromatic and soft.

Tasting Notes: Elegant, aromatic, soft and sensual.
