Founded
in 1897 by Orazio Nonino in the Friuli region of Italy, Nonino has changed
the way the world views grappa. Today, current proprietor Benito Nonino
and his wife Giannola, together with their three daughters Cristina,
Antonella and Elisabetta, continue to lead Italian distillers through
their devotion to research, quality and innovation.
In 1973, the Noninos crafted the first ever single-vineyard,
single-grape grappa with their Grappa Nonino Cru Monovitigno Picolit.
Picolit was a huge success, triggering many of the industry’s current
trends. Then, in 1984, Benito and Gianolla solidified their status as
industry leaders by introducing the world’s first single-vineyard,
single-grape distillate produced using whole grape clusters. This product,
known as ÙE (pronounced “Oo-ay”), further revolutionized the industry
and introduced distillates with uniquely intense aroma and flavor
components.
Today, Nonino’s extensive product line revolves around their award
winning grappas and revolutionary ÙEs. Presented in elegant bottles –
most of which are hand blown – it is no wonder that Nonino grappas and
ÙEs are some of the most sought-after distillates in the world today.
