For over a century, the Nonino family has dedicated themselves to the art of distillation, continually striving to redefine the perception of this ancient Friulian spirit. Their unwavering commitment to innovation and improvement is deeply rooted in their heritage, dating back to 1897. In a pioneering move, Nonino became the first producer to craft a single varietal grappa exclusively from the indigenous Picolit grape in 1973, a groundbreaking endeavor that set a new trend followed by distillers throughout Italy. Additionally, Nonino has tirelessly championed the preservation of local grape varieties, exemplified by the establishment of the prestigious 'Risit d'Aur' (Golden Rootstock) Award in 1975. This esteemed accolade is presented annually to Friulian growers who demonstrate exceptional dedication to conserving and propagating native vine material. In 1984, Nonino once again set the industry standard with 'ÙE,' a groundbreaking distillation technique that captures the essence of whole grapes, preserving their distinctive aromas, flavors, and velvety smoothness on the palate. A testament to their continuous pursuit of excellence, the Nonino family introduced Gioiello in 2000, a pure honey distillate that complements their unrivaled range of exceptional spirits. With a legacy steeped in tradition and an unwavering commitment to quality, Nonino stands as a true paragon among distillers.
