Amaro 'Quintessentia' Nonino

The “Quintessentia” is an Amaro that originates from an ancient recipe, developed in 1933 by Antonio Nonino. Antonio was indeed passionate about the typical Friulian traditions, where herbal infusions have always played an important role. He therefore decided to try his hand at producing an Amaro, the recipe of which has been revived by the current generation of the family since 1992. A label where sweetness and bitter flavors blend harmoniously, offering a focused and linear tasting experience.

The “Quintessentia” is an Amaro that comes from a careful selection of herbs made by the Nonino team, one of the most renowned Italian distilleries. The herbs, once selected, are infused in grape brandy, made from the freshest pomace. The distillation follows artisanal procedures, using the discontinuous method, utilizing a steam copper still. Once the distillation is complete, the heads and tails are “cut”, isolating the best aromas extracted during the processing. The continues with the aging phase, in which the Amaro matures both in barriques and in small wooden barrels, until the bottling and marketing procedures begin.

The Amaro “Quintessentia” presents itself visually with a color reminiscent of amber, endowed with a beautiful brightness. Full and rich is the aromatic profile offered to the nose, where citrus notes alternate with spicy touches and hints of aromatic and balsamic herbs. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, velvety, with a sip that reveals a fresh and spicy flavor, where the sweet component is well balanced. Perfect for any occasion, the Nonino distillery recommends pairing it with a few ice cubes and a slice of orange.
