Nonino Il Merlot Grappa 0.7L 41% – Authentic Italian Craftsmanship
Nonino Il Merlot Grappa 0.7L 41% represents the combination of traditional Italian distilling expertise, generations of family experience and the uncompromising quality standards of the Nonino family. Since establishing its own distillery in 1897, the family has been dedicated to producing distinctive grappa and has played an important role in making this traditional Italian grape pomace spirit internationally appreciated.
A Family Legacy Dating Back to 1897
The Nonino family story began with Orazio Nonino, who travelled from farm to farm with a mobile still, distilling grape pomace and fruit from the surrounding region. The foundation of the family distillery in Ronchi di Percoto in 1897 marked the beginning of an exceptional distilling tradition. From the 1960s onwards, Nonino placed increasing emphasis on research and the continuous improvement of grappa production. In 1973, the family introduced Monovitigno Nonino, the first single-varietal grappa, helping to establish a new chapter in Italian grappa culture.
Single-Varietal Grappa Made from Merlot Pomace
Nonino Il Merlot is produced exclusively from the pomace of Merlot grapes. Following destemming and carefully controlled fermentation, the grape pomace is distilled in one of Nonino’s discontinuous stills. This traditional and meticulous distillation method allows the distillers to express the distinctive characteristics of the original grape material with precision, resulting in an elegant and expressive grappa.
Elegant Aromas and Distinctive Cherry-Stone Character
On the nose, Nonino Il Merlot is elegant, aromatic and pleasantly fresh. Delicate grape aromas combine with subtle floral nuances to create a refined and layered profile. On the palate, this single-varietal Merlot grappa is characterful yet balanced. Its signature cherry-stone character is particularly distinctive, offering a delicate almond-like impression that defines the spirit’s flavour profile. These characteristic notes continue into the smooth and pleasantly lingering finish.
Serving Suggestions and Culinary Use
Nonino Il Merlot is best enjoyed at room temperature, allowing its different aromas to develop fully. Traditionally, it is served neat as a digestif after a meal. The Nonino family also recommends a culinary application: adding one to two teaspoons of grappa to risotto can provide additional aromatic depth and complexity.
With its single-varietal Merlot character, delicate fruit notes and distinctive cherry-stone aroma, Nonino Il Merlot Grappa 0.7L 41% is an expressive Italian speciality for enthusiasts of carefully crafted spirits. It combines the Nonino family’s long-standing experience with meticulous distillation and a refined, recognisable flavour profile.

Zu Plun Grappa Rosenmuskateller 0.5L 42% Zu Plun farm distillery On an old farm, the Zu Plun farm, which was already mentioned in stories from 1400 AD, the master blender Florian Rabanser, who bought the farm, created a magnificent farm distillery. With the aim of creating a distillery that specializes in creating products from South Tyrol and other surrounding regions, Rabanser founded the Zu Plun distillery, which today not only produces grappa, but also other spirits such as gin and rum. Here, however, you will always find a connection to the region, be it in the form of alpine herbs, special spices or in the form of old grape varieties from small wineries in the area. Rose Muscat Grappa Rose Muscat grape vines are mainly intended for dessert wines because of their dominant sweetness. This rarity among grape varieties belongs, as one might guess, to the group of Muscat grapes and, according to stories, was brought from Sicily to Kaltern by the Prince of Campofranco in the mid-19th century. Here it has adapted well to the cooler climate compared to its homeland and is highly valued there. Rabanser also wanted to create a grappa from this special grape variety and here too he used the pomace from the wine production of small wineries to produce the distillate. He has created a sweet grappa that is full of aromatic berry aromas, floral tones and the memory of blooming roses. Similar to the mouthfeel of a dessert wine made from rose muscat grapes, the grappa is very soft on the palate and offers a full-bodied, complex finish with a hint of nutmeg.
