Picolit Cru THE LEGENDARY GRAPPA
1st December 1973: the Noninos create Grappa Monovitigno® and turn Grappa from Cinderella into the Queen of Distillates.
The distillation of the pomace from a single vine is the Nonino revolution in the way of producing and introducing Grappa in Italy and in the World!
“Still sends chills down my spine when I taste it. The prototypical grappa of this generation and probably of one to two generations to come. The most harmonious unaged grape-based spirit that I know. Perfection from the alluringly nuanced bouquet to the firm, tight-as-a-drum but bountiful taste that lasts and lasts. Superlative; an elixir of the top echelon”.
F. Paul Pacult, Spirit Journal - June 2011
Nonino Vineyard Buttrio - Friuli.
Aristocratic elegant and pure; unique in its balance and elegance, with a taste of bitter honey, acacia flowers, quince and newly picked figs.
FEATURES
Primary product
Picolit grape pomace is selected from the Nonino Vineyard in Friuli. The Picolit is a very rare spargola grape which is peculiar to Friuli.
Alcoholic content
50%vol
Fermentation
In stainless steel tanks under vacuum and in a controlled temperature environment. This is followed immediately by distillation in order to avoid harmful secondary fermentations.
Artisanal Distillation
Batch method with the removal of the heads and the tails in special artisanal batch steam stills renovated by Benito Nonino. The distillation happens very slowly to allow the volatile components, responsible for the perfumes, a proper evaporation period and subsequent condensation, in order to keep intact the precious organoleptic characteristics of the chosen vines varieties.
Production
Limited and strictly dependent on the individual year’s harvest.
Maturation
From six months to a year in stainless steel tanks.
Bottling
The packaging is hand-made, comprising hand-blown and specially dated bottles with silver plated cap.
Optimum Temperature
About 12° C.
Tasting
Before tasting, Grappa should be allowed to rest in the glass for some minutes: on exposure to oxygen the perfumes are enhanced and the nose/palate harmony is perfected.
When to drink it
Drunk, sipped or lingered over at the end of a meal or at any moment of the day it is a source of real pleasure!
How to serve it
In a special crystal glass with an open tulip shape.
