The Nonino Grappa 12 Years Monovitigno Merlot Gran Riserva Sherry Cask, presented in an exclusive 5.8-litre large-format bottle with a dispensing pump and an elegant wooden case, is an exceptional meisterwerk of Italian distilling – refined, matured and possessing impressive aromatic depth. Produced by the multi-award-winning Distilleria Nonino in Friuli, this grappa epitomises the highest quality, decades of experience and uncompromising craftsmanship.

This rare spirit is made exclusively from the fresh pomace of the Merlot grape, renowned for its fruitiness and smooth texture. The pomace is distilled immediately after harvest in traditional, batch-style steam stills – a labour-intensive process that ensures purity and aromatic authenticity. What sets this bottling apart is its exceptionally long ageing period of twelve years in small Spanish oak sherry casks, which allows the grappa to develop a fascinating combination of smoothness, oak character and the depth of the grape variety’s fruitiness.

With an alcohol content of 41% vol., the Gran Riserva is elegant, complex and perfectly balanced. The solid, handcrafted wooden case and the integrated dosing pump make this large-format bottle not only a functional item for top-class gastronomy, but also a prestigious collector’s item.
