Nonino - Riserva Cru Monovitigno Moscato 19 Years - Grappa

Nonino is the Friulian distillery that transformed grappa's reputation, pioneering single-varietal and single-vineyard expressions long before either concept was fashionable. This Riserva Cru Monovitigno is distilled from Moscato pomace and aged for 19 years, placing it firmly in the territory of serious aged spirits rather than anything you'd bracket with a digestivo.

Expect the floral and stone-fruit character of Moscato to have softened and deepened through long wood contact into something closer to dried apricot, candied orange peel, and warm spice, with a texture that will satisfy guests who reach for aged Cognac. Serve neat in a tulip glass, ideally alongside dark chocolate or aged cheese.
