Marka: Nonino

Lo Chardonnay in Barriques
Lightly amber after a maturation from 8 to 10 months in barriques, refined and elegant, it has a scent reminiscent of bread, vanilla and pastry. On the palate there are notes of chocolate and newly shelled almonds.

FEATURES
Primary product
The pomace, collected when it is fresh and soft, is selected from Chardonnay grapes.

Alcoholic content
41% 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 artisanal batch steam stills renovated by Benito Nonino. Bottled without coloring agents.

Production
Limited and strictly dependent on the individual year’s harvest.

Maturation
From 8 to 10 months in barriques.

Optimum Temperature
About 12° C or in an ice glass with an open tulip shape. The aged distillates should be served at room temperature in wide balloon-type glasses.

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
Thanks to its particular elegance and persistency, 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!
The aged distillates are ideal when served with foie gras, bitter chocolate or chocolate based desserts.

In cooking
One or two spoonfuls of Grappa Nonino Monovitigno® can be added after toasting the rice, to enhance the aroma of a risotto or when roasting meat you can pour in a small glass of Grappa Nonino half-way through the cooking.
