January 2020, Nonino Distillatori is proclaimed ‘Best Distillery in the World’ Spirit Brand/ Distiller of the Year 2019 by Wine Enthusiast, it is the first time for Italy and for Grappa. The Nonino family has devoted itself to the Art of Distillation since 1897. This year will see the celebrations for the 50th anniversary of Monovitigno® Nonino Grappa Revolution, which started in 1973, when Giannola and Benito Nonino separately started distilling the pomace of the Picolit grape and turned Grappa from Cinderrella to Queen of Distillates, as stated in a 2017 case study by LSE (London School of Economics). In 1975 the Noninos established the Nonino Risit d’Aur Award - the Golden Vine Shoot - with the aim of promoting, rewarding and officially recognizing native Friulian heritage vines and preserving the biodiversity of the area. In 1984 they created the Grape Distillate, ÙE® by distilling the whole grape. The Ministerial authorization for production (Ministerial Decree 20.10.84) was granted upon specific request by the Noninos. 500 metres away from the distillery, the company welcomes its guests at Borgo Nonino, a complex made up of seven rural buildings - the oldest from the Napoleonic era -, also used as an aging cellar. Today the 7 Aging Cellars of the Nonino Distilleries keep 2510 barriques and small barrels of different woods, under the seal of the Customs Agency with 0% dyes. The Noninos keep working on the evolution of Grappa – Italian Cocktail Spirit - the star of fantastic cocktails and aperitifs. #BeBraveMixGrappa.
